Abstract: Online social networks have permeated our social lives in the current generation. These sites have allowed us to see our social lives differently than they did in the past. Nowadays we can connect with new friends and maintain relationships with them via social and personal activities become quite easy. Online Social Networks (OSN) are contributed in all areas such as Research in all domains, Job-related areas, Technology oriented areas, Health care, and business-oriented areas, Information gathering and data collection, and so on. One of the biggest problems on these social media platforms is fake profiles. Impersonating to be someone else and causing harm and defamation to the real person or advertising or popularizing removed propaganda on someone’s name to get more benefit is the motto of such profile creators. There have been many studies regarding these fake accounts and how can they be mitigated. Many approaches such as graph-level activities or feature analysis have been taken into consideration to identify fake profiles. These methods are outdated when compared to arising issues of these days. In this paper, we proposed a technique using machine learning for fake profile detection which is efficient.
