I've encountered an intriguing challenge with a client who has a substantial following and a verified account on both Facebook and Instagram. They are being targeted by individuals creating numerous fake pages daily, impersonating their brand. In order to protect their reputation and prevent scams, we're seeking a solution to:

1. Automatically identify and track new pages impersonating the client's account.
2. Swiftly ban or report these fraudulent pages.

Though this may seem unconventional, our aim is to maintain the integrity of the client's brand and safeguard their followers from getting scammed.

Haven't found a solution for this specifically.

So I'm considering employing a Python-based cloud automation to conduct daily searches using the client's name. For banning these pages, a serverless automation approach using multiple accounts could be effective, but I'm uncertain about the number of accounts required or if it will actually work.

That's a pretty good methodology. Though honestly, it shouldn't come down to the end-users to patch up problems the platform should be doing more to sort out. Nevertheless, it's good to have such a smart measures on the back-pocket.

Yeah completely agree. It's a problem created by the platform itself. I believe with AI new problems like this will emerge can't even imagine. In the meantime, doing this as an upsell for my client and benefiting from this gap that FB has lol.

Just for the record I saw today that instagram is starting to recognize the profile pictures of known accounts, and whenever you get a follow-request it tells you it might be a fake account. So I think it's getting better. Might be bad for those doing mass IG outreach but if you're not scamming people then I guess organic still works.
