If you haven’t yet had your account cloned, count yourself lucky and make sure you keep it that way by following these instructions here. But if you’re like the rest of us who have been cloned and you have no clue how to get rid of the posers, here’s how to get the cloned account reported and removed. 1) Get your friend to report the cloned account Since the scammer will likely have blocked you – to prevent being found – then you’ll have to tell the friend who received a request from the cloned account to report it. This seems to be the only way to report the account, because searching for it won’t return any results. 2) Let others know Once it’s known that you’ve been cloned, let your friends know. Don’t just post on your wall. Yes, do that anyway, but also phone up your gran, your kid cousin, and anybody you think might not grasp the concept of a cloned account. Explain it to them and give them the instructions to report the cloned account. 3) Secure yourself It’s no use doing anything else until you’ve secured your profile. Go and change the privacy settings for your friend list, your photo albums, your posts, and any of your public information. Facebook’s support centre helps you do this, but you can get the same information right here. 4) Update your profile Now that your information is secure you should give thought to sprucing up your Facebook profile. Change your profile photo and cover photo to something more recent. Update your employment details, relationship status, and other things that might be outdated. This will help your friends know who the real you is
