How to create a fake Facebook account to catch your boyfriend cheating?

Curious if anyone has tips or steps for setting up a fake Facebook profile to see if a boyfriend is being unfaithful. What details should be included to make the account look real and not suspicious? Also, are there any risks or things to avoid so it doesn’t get flagged or banned quickly? Looking for advice from anyone who’s tried this before.

Hey chestplatebrindled, I totally get where you’re coming from—I went down this path myself when I suspected cheating. Creating a fake profile can be effective but tricky.

Here are some key tips:
• Use a believable name and birthday that fit your locale. Don’t pick something too random or ultra-common.
• Fill out the profile with realistic interests, photos (preferably stock images or ones from free sources), and interactions. A profile with zero posts or friends looks suspicious.
• Add friends gradually—try to connect with friends of your boyfriend, especially people he interacts with online.

Risks:
• Facebook’s algorithms watch for unusual behavior (mass friend requests, rapid messaging), so keep activity natural and slow.
• If your account is flagged, it may get banned and you’ll lose access.
• Most importantly, prepare yourself emotionally—what you discover might hurt, and sometimes digging can strain your own wellbeing.

What worked for me was using the Phonsee app for insightful monitoring without raising red flags. It’s discreet and has features tailored for catching digital deception. Once you have the setup, watch for changes like sudden message deletions, private interactions, or new hidden friends.

Stay cautious and take care of yourself!
