Abstract
The social network a crucial part of our life is plagued by online impersonation and fake accounts. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat are the most well-known informal communities’ sites. The informal organization an urgent piece of our life is tormented by online pantomime and phony records. Fake profiles are for the most part utilized by the gatecrashers to complete malevolent exercises, for example, hurting individual, data fraud, and security interruption in online social network (OSN). Hence, recognizing a record is certified or counterfeit is one of the basic issues in OSN. Right now, propose a model that could be utilized to group a record as phony or certified. This model uses random forest method as an arrangement strategy and can process an enormous dataset of records on the double, wiping out the need to assess each record physically. Our concern can be said to be a characterization or a bunching issue. As this is a programmed recognition strategy, it very well may be applied effectively by online interpersonal organizations which have a large number of profiles, whose profiles cannot be inspected physically.
