How to find out if the page is fake or not in the social network "VKontakte"?
What is a fake page?
For those who still do not know, explain what the "fake page" is. The fake page is registered for someone else's name (often not existing in life: " Don Quixote», « Jan Ziage», « Cheburminator "), Account. As a rule, such an account is filled with lime photographs that do not belong to a person who registered it.
How to distinguish a real account from fake? Let's start understanding this issue in order.
Let's start with the age of account
First, let's try to determine the age of the page that we suspect to Fake. Each account in " In contact with"It has its own personal ordinal number, called" Id" This " Id"Including notable also because we can determine the age of the account.
So, here is the address of the page of a particular user in " In contact with»:
But social network In contact with»It has various capabilities, for example, here you can choose the language of the interface, as well as correct the address of your page. Therefore, it is possible that you will see the following picture as an address of someone else's account:
Custom "ID" in the social network "VKontakte"
That is, now we " Id"We are not visible, but this question is solved quickly. We go to the list of friends you need and look again to the address bar:
Go to friends
We learn «ID»
In the screenshot, we highlighted the figures in yellow - this is, " Id" Of course, absolutely accurate to know the age of the page will be difficult, but we do not need it. There are enough approximate calculations. For example, if " Id"Varium in the region of 100,000,000, then it can be assumed that this account was created somewhere in 2010.
If this figure reaches 185,000,000, the page was registered no earlier than 2012 and if " Id"Reaches 290,000,000, then most likely the account created not so long ago.
Why do we need this information? The fact is that, as a rule, fake accounts do not live long, and if you see activity on the fake page, then in most cases it was created recently. And in confirmation to this there will be our calculations made above.

If this information was posted for one day or for any relatively short time, then, most likely, we are dealing with some kind of "serial" author. The usual users, as a rule, fill its page content with often years. And if the page is completely empty, then there can be no doubt.
