Fake Facebook profile

[Jack_Payne]

alright, there is this kid at my school that I'm pretty sure created a fake Facebook profile and has been stirring up a bunch of shit. The entire story is very sketchy and a lot of facts don't seem to add up (for instance, the profile states that they just moved from California, but in another section it talks about cheering for ICE, and I could not find any cheer team called ICE in California). the one thing that I don't understand is how they would obtain pictures for the profile. there are over twenty posted pictures. So, I wanted to know if anyone knew of some sort of site where you could obtain a bunch of random pics of people, or something of that.

Please help, I'd really like to catch this kid in the act. (any other related advice would be welcomed as well!).

You know, you can actually report fake profiles to facebook.

Don't get so worked up over a random profile featuring random people.

Thanks for the comment about reporting profiles, haha I probably should have thought of that. But I'd really rather prefer some definitive proof to catch this person in the act rather than just making him "disappear".

And I'm not getting worked up about it. It's a bunch of other people at my school that have gotten caught up in it. I just want to get the credit for being the one that exposed this kid! haha

Google Images.

If he/she really wanted to, he could steal it from a blog as well.

Ah, yes. Asking for our assistance and them claiming credit for it. We've never seen that before.

Hint: Maybe we have better things to do?

Agreed. Basically.....who cares? Why waste your time over some facebook profile? As far as pictures go, you could easily take them from google images, websites, profiles on myspace, facebook, friends, etc.
And since you do have this under 'Social Engineering', if it matters that much to you, why not give that a try? Try to befriend them, start conversations through emails to get a little more personal rather than posting comments on their page.

Well, I apologize for pissing some people off. I just simply wanted to know if there was some sort of site you could go to that had a shit ton of random pictures categorized by person to be used in making fake Myspace or FaceBook accounts, that's really it. But, anyway, I'm going to just delete this thread later anyway. Thanks to the people that didn't jump down my throat.

And btw, it's not as if I would have said, "Oh yeah, I knew exactly how to tell that this was a fake." I'm not a douche that doesn't give credit when credit is due. What I simply meant was that I would be the person at my school to get the credit. Not as if I wouldn't tell how I found out.

People here get worked up about "newbs" a lot, so don't take it too hard if someone tells you off for something like this.

But basically, you could get pictures from anywhere. Hell, lots of forums even have a "Post your pic" thread, that ends up having multiple pictures of members. Then there's random public facebook/myspace accounts, blogs, and of course, google.

It'd be difficult to determine who is doing this though, unless you started talking to them and they let some personal information slip.
