Social life of everyone has become linked with online social networks in today's generation. These websites have drastically affected the way we do our social lives. Making new friends and staying in touch with them has become much easier. However, as a result of their rapid growth, plenty of new issues have emerged, including malicious users, fraudulent profiles, and online impersonation. There are no practical ways for resolving these issues. In this research paper, we use an artificial neural network to detect fake profiles automatically and effectively. We determine the risk that a Facebook friend request is genuine or not. This can be used by online social networks with millions of profiles that can't be manually reviewed.
