I've reported it! The challenge is that usually, I select the option that the profile is pretending to be a friend or a celebrity, and then Facebook wants you to tag that friend or celebrity. Since you're not actually on Facebook, I had to just report it as a fraud or scam.
No, those are reader/fan accounts that state they are not official. I'm referring to someone on facebook actually saying they ARE me and they interact with people as if they are me.

I reported the fake account the day I saw your post, and today I received this singularly exasperating update from Facebook:
"We use technology to help prioritize reports for review.
As our review team is focused on the most severe cases with potential for real world harm, we're not able to review your report.
We understand that this might be frustrating so we recommend exploring the options available to control what you see.
We'll let you know if there is an update on your report.
If you think we made a mistake, you can request a review of this decision within 180 days."
I am not on Threads, but every time I see a suggestion to join, it tells me that Beth Brower is on there.
Haha! Oh brother. I'm on there accidentally. I need to get back off.
Oh, dear…
I think I've successfully deactivated. Lol. I keep thinking of Threads as an extension of Insta...but I don't ever use it.
And I don’t dare get on it because I don’t need one more way to waste time on the internet!
Are these the Nial Pierce, Islington and Hawkes accounts?

Rude! Why are people so frustrating. What do they stand to gain from this sort of behavior?? Ugh.
So, you don't have Beth Brower Facebook account?
I'm sorry this has happened to you. I have to chase down one of these clone accounts on some platform every month or so. It's obnoxious.
I am not on Facebook but I've shared this with my Emma Lion readalong group so anyone in the group that does have a Facebook account can report it.
I'm so sorry, Beth!
So sorry to hear this! Praying it gets resolved soon!
