So other than images, here are some other useful tips that can help you identify a fake profile.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check their bio. People often like to express themselves from their bio but a bot account will leave it empty or unfinished.<\/li>\n<li>Look at how many images the profile has posted. Bot and Fake profiles generally have a single image on their account.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor their interactions with other accounts or pages. Most bots are programmed to interact the same way with other accounts on social media.<\/li>\n<li>Most fake accounts will mass follow others on sites like Instagram. Compare the number of followers to the number of accounts they are following.<\/li>\n<li>Most businesses will not show you any IDs and transaction details with other customers, if a business account is offering to show you receipts, IDs, and other verification proofs then it is a possible scam.<\/li>\n<li>Unless the person is very young, it is best to stay away from accounts created in the past year as most of us have been on social media for a long time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s common to hear about people falling for scams and bots spamming a website on the news.
