Abstract Social media platforms have become an integral part of moderncommunication, but the rise of fake profiles has led to increasedmisinformation, fraudulent activities, and cybersecurity risks. TheSecure Social Fake Profile Detection System is designed to addressthese challenges by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) andmachine learning techniques to accurately classify social mediaprofiles as genuine or fake. This system integrates Instaloader forautomated data extraction, natural language processing (NLP) forusername and bio analysis, OpenCV for face authentication, andXGBoost for classification.By analyzing over 50,000 labeled social media profiles, the systemachieves a detection accuracy of 95.2%, making it one of the mosteffective fake account detection mechanisms. The model considerskey profile attributes such as username structure, profile picturepresence, follower-following ratio, and account activity to determineauthenticity. Additionally, a real-time monitoring dashboard allowsadministrators to track flagged accounts and adjust detectionparameters as needed.The proposed system not only improves social media security butalso ensures scalable fraud detection through adaptive learning.Future enhancements include GAN-based deepfake detection,adversarial machine learning defenses, and blockchain-basedidentity verification to create a more robust solution.
