It’s against Facebook’s terms of service to create a Facebook account under false pretenses. But that hasn’t stopped some folks, who use sites like Fiverr and Craigslist as a platform to sell (or buy) actions on Facebook.

For example, a clever computer whiz might create multiple fake accounts that can serve a variety of purposes—whether it be posing as someone's fake Facebook girlfriend, increasing someone's number of Facebook friends, or even "liking" a company's Facebook page—and then sell such services to anyone willing to pay.

According to a Washington Post story, dedicated fake Facebookers can make thousands per month.
