Most counterfeit accounts on Instagram follow these luxurious brands.

Fake accounts are accounts created by scammers or bots, as Casino Guardian writes. Some of these accounts are there to trick users into giving away money, for example, while others want to steal personal information. However, most fake accounts are simply designed to increase a user’s number of followers. These fake accounts would mostly have no posts, no bio, or only a few followers while following hundreds or thousands of accounts. The fake account checker calculates how many likes and other reactions a post receives. An engagement rate of one to five percent is common, but a rate of less than 0.5 percent is an indication that the account has a high percentage of fake followers.
