Facebook - Impostor Account

Last night someone set up an Impostor Account in my name on Facebook.  This does not mean that they hacked my account, they set up a new account using my name and photograph.

Many of my Facebook friends received 'Friend Requests' from me and if they accidentally accepted I believe they were bombarded with private messages and rubbish.

If you receive a 'Friend Request' from someone you are already friends with you should be able to see that it is an 'Impostor Account' because there will be no history.

I have to admit that I did not have a clue what to do when I found out what had happened and neither did anyone in my family.  I'm not surprised that I didn't have a clue as I don't use Facebook very much - I only opened an account because some of my Design Teams use it to communicate.  I was however shocked that the rest of my family and some of my close friends did not know what to do because they are logged into Facebook constantly.

If you do ever realise that a friends account has been 'cloned' or 'hacked' you must do the following for them, they will be the last to know what is happening!

• Go to the impostor profile
• Click and select the option to report
• Follow the instructions for an account that's pretending to be someone you know

There is no danger to you as long as you DO NOT accept the friend request.

As soon a my husband and a couple of friends did this the account was removed within minutes.

I'm not an emotional person but I have to say that this episode has really shaken me, I am horrified to know that someone was doing things in my name and I did not know anything about it until I logged onto Facebook - perhaps they chose me because I do not log on every day and therefore they thought they might have a chance to cause some havoc before it was noticed.

I apologise to anyone that was affected by this but I do not see how I could possibly have prevented it, I have checked my security settings and they are OK.  It would appear that anyone can set up an account in any name they choose - what I don't understand is how they managed to find my friends!

If you are still here and you didn't already know what to do if this happens to a friend of yours, I hope that you do now - let's shut these fraudsters down as soon as they appear.  I hope this never happens to you as I can assure you it is not a pleasant experience.

Thank you for visiting today, I will be back later with a card and a little giveaway.
