Facebook has more than 83 million fake users
The company said 8.7 per cent of its 955 million active users might not be real.
Duplicate profiles made up 4.8 per cent of the users while 1.5 per cent of users were described as "undesirable".
In total, the company said it estimated there were 83.09 million fake users, which it classified in three groups.
The largest group of "fakes" were duplicates, which the company defined as "an account that a user maintains in addition to his or her principal account".
Others were described as "user-misclassified" where, Facebook explained "users have created personal profiles for a business, organisation, or non-human entity such as a pet".
Finally, "undesirable" accounts were profiles deemed to be in breach of Facebook's terms of service. This meant profiles which have been used for sending out spam messages or other content, BBC said.
A BBC investigation, in which a fake company called VirtualBagel was set up to investigate allegations of fake "likes", found that the large majority of "likes" for the fake firm originated from the Middle East and Asia.
Many users appeared to be false, such as "Ahmed Ronaldo" - said to be a Cairo-based user employed by Spanish football club Real Madrid.
Digital distribution firm Limited Press alleged that, based on its own analytics software, 80 per cent of clicks on its advertisements within Facebook had come from fake users.

Yes Facebook now worth more than Yahoo, RIM (Research in Motion), eBay, Starbucks, Dell, Adobe and Intuit. Its according to latest financing valuation, Facebook worth $50 billion valuation, Yahoo has a $22 billion market cap and eBay $37 billion. Here a little confusion, according to Goldman Sachs Facebook worth $50 billion, Forbes thinks it’s worth $23 billion, SharesPost pins its value at $26.3 billion and The Financial Times says it’s a $33 billion company but still low in compare to Amazon worth $83 billion and Google worth $193 billion.
Facebook passed Yahoo in implied valuation last summer and the revenues for 2010 are rumored to be around $2 billion, which gives it a multiple of 25 times revenues. In February 2009, Facebook valued itself at $3.7 billion and its tripled to $9.5 billion in November 2009 and since then, its more than tripled again in value. Though its all some confusion here but Facebook is growing really much faster. At $50 billion, though, Facebook is going to have to come out with the biggest IPO in history to justify the current frenzy of private investment.
Companies that are worth less than Facebook:
~eBay: $32 billion
~Costco: $27.5 billion
~Research in Motion: $26 billion
~Dell: $23.8 billion
~Starbucks: $19.2 billion
~Yahoo: $19.1 billion
~Staples: $14.8 billion
~Intuit: $14.3 billion
~Adobe: $14 billion
The private valuations are based on what a handful of wealthy investors are willing to pay
