If you checked out our Paragon Orthopedic Center Facebook page recently, you might have read a post/review with a false accusation against our staff. This was investigated and the “person” was not a patient of ours, and then was found to be a fake account altogether. The post was deleted. You might think this won’t happen to you. It is estimated that around 5% of all Facebook accounts are fake, which is about 137 million profiles. Did you know you should report these fakers? A quick internet search brings up easy instructions if you suspect you have had fake activity on your feed. More stats on Facebook:
