There are two common mistakes that help the bad guys clone or hack a Facebook account. whatthetech facebook alabamanewsnetwork
Not a day goes by when one of my Facebook friends posts a warning that their Facebook account has been hacked and please do not accept a friend request from them and ignore any messages you get from me.
Mistake number one: accepting friend requests from people you don’t know. Many of us accepted friend requests by the dozens when we first signed up. Scammers create fake accounts in hopes of finding a few people to accept their friend requests. I’ve personally received friend requests from people I don’t know and when I look at our mutual friends, I see at least a half-dozen of my friends have accepted their requests.
If you get a friend request from someone you don’t know, don’t accept it right away. If it’s a fake account, chances are good that Facebook will remove the account by the time you check again in a few days.
