Are fake Facebook profiles impersonating a model/actress typically used for social engineering? What can you do with a fake profile? As an example, a person named [Yana Nat](https://www.facebook.com/yana.nat.9) added me on Facebook. She has no friends, and wall is disabled. I reverse image searched the first image on the profile and got this site for [Nevena Tepic](http://www.starnow.com/nevena). All of the pictures of Yana are on the site for Nevena. Out of boredom, I messaged the person asking what they were doing with the account, and linked that starnow page saying that I knew they were a fake. They unfriended me shortly after, with no response. I've had several people with obviously fake profiles add me, then I do a quick reverse image search and find out they're fake. Is this social engineering? What could whoever is behind the fake profile stand to gain from the fake profile? I don't think this goes against personally identifiable information rules, because it's a fake profile (unknown person), and a public figure. If I'm wrong let me know.
