Interesting case. Facebook are generally responsive in taking down fake profiles (a lot easier to deal with than Twitter) although sometimes they can drag their feet a bit.
This one is even more fun. Woman tried to trap her ex-husband with a fake Facebook profile and promptly got served!

Curious that vkontakte ("in touch"... a Russian clone of Facebook) is still number one around here. Also interesting that Facebook isn't even 2nd (Odnoklassniki, "classmates") or 3rd (blogging site Livejournal - US based but as of last year Russian-owned).
Facebook is popular in Moscow, particularly among people who know English, but not as much in the rest of the country and even Facebook users use vkontakte & Odnoklassniki - I have profiles on both sites.
Linked In becomes a pain at our place for head hunters calling
I agree it is now full of people looking for work or wanting to hire someone.

We use it a lot as we are recruitment......but as a secretary answering the phone and putting calls through SO many are people trying to recruit our staff! After seeing them on there.
That is what I mean people use it to poach staff

Fake profiles are a royal pain on Facebook & Twitter.
