impostor account / fake account Explanation: I've usually seen this in reference to "empresas pantalla", meaning dummy corporations, "fronts" or fake companies. I imagine this is the meaning here, i.e., impostor/dummy accounts accounts that are imitating actual ones. Empresa pantalla es una expresión apropiada y su plural es empresas pantalla.

Se trata de una expresión adecuada, dado que el Diccionario académico define pantalla en una de sus acepciones como ‘la persona o cosa que distrae la atención para encubrir u ocultar algo o a alguien’; así, la expresión empresa pantalla, en el contexto de los ejemplos anteriores, equivale a otras como empresa tapadera, empresa fantasma, empresa interpuesta o empresa de papel. http://www.fundeu.es/recomendacion/empresa-pantalla-expresio... Facebook, for example, refers to imitators as both "impostor accounts" and "fake accounts", although the term "fake account" includes completely made up identities: Report an Impostor Account If someone has created a Facebook account that's pretending to be you or someone you know, please use this form to file a report. https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/169486816475808 Fake Accounts How do I report a fake account?
