Real/ Fake Account tweets

We again tweeted off our Real / Fake accounts Twitter profile today. This time we tweeted an image of profile of somebody we know, so we know the profile is real.

We got a much better response this time, receiving interaction off of 9 Twitter users. 7 saying they thought the profile is real and 2 saying they thought it was fake. We found this interesting that there was a slight difference of opinion amongst our followers.

We wanted to further investigate as to why 2 of our followers thought the profile would be fake. After direct messaging these followers (one replied) they said they felt it could be a fake profile as they didn't state where they worked on their profile and all of the images that can be seen are group shots and none are of just the individual.

After researching fake profiles thoroughly we actually feel that group photos quite often mean that the individual is who they say they are, particularly if their friends are tagged in those images.
