facebook logoYou know how you can "Search by Company" in Facebook? Well, I recently noticed that a couple Facebook users who are not and were never part of my company, were listed in my company directory in Facebook.

So, I asked around if there was an easy way, as the company admin in Facebook, to remove false employees. No one had an answer, and some people asked me to blog about it when I did get the answer.

So I decided to use the report abuse form at Facebook to ask them. Last night, I received a response that said:

These users are not in your work network. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove this information. Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if you have other questions or problems.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Well, it seems like one of the users - who was actually pretty good looking, was removed. I assume it was a fake account and they banned that account. The other user, Ernest Lau Facebook ID 14304505, is still listed in my company profile. So, if I wanted to edit my work profile and list myself under, um - Facebook, that would be cool with them? I doubt it.

Anyway, if you want to become a friend of mine on Facebook, here is my profile. While you are at it, my twitter account and linkedin account.
