How to report a fake Facebook Page impersonating your business

Meta says profiles and Pages that impersonate other people go against its Community Standards, and that it removes impostor accounts on Facebook and Instagram that falsely claim to represent your official presence. Fan Pages and opinion accounts generally don't violate its rules, even if you'd rather they didn't exist.

Meta's steps on a computer:

1. Go to the impersonating Page. If you can't find it, search for the name or ask someone to send you the link.
2. Click Options (the three dots) below the cover photo.
3. Select Report Page.
4. Choose the option that best describes the problem and follow the prompts.

• To report a fake profile, the steps are the same but you select Report profile.
• You can also report impostor profiles or Pages in Messenger.
• Depending on what you choose, Meta may use your feedback rather than ask you to submit a full report.

On Instagram, tap the three dots in the top right of the account, select Report and follow the instructions. If you don't have a Facebook or Instagram account, Meta's business help article links to separate impostor report forms for each.

If the fake Page uses your brand name or logo, Meta's Trademark Report Form covers infringements of a word, slogan, symbol or design. Owners of a registered trademark can also apply for Brand Rights Protection, which Meta describes as a tool to find and report trademark violations, counterfeits and copyright infringements in one place.

• Only use the form for trademark claims. Meta warns that abuse of the form may result in the termination of your account.

Meta doesn't publish a timeline for impostor reports, so protect customers in the meantime:

• Post on your real Page saying which account is yours and that you'll never ask for payment by message, then pin it.
• Ask customers who were contacted to report the fake Page too. Meta says that if you can't access a Page, you can ask a friend to report it.
• Check your own Page's admins and turn on two-factor authentication, in case the copy is part of a takeover attempt.
