I have a FB account from around 2009 I used for playing games. All my friends are from the games so we could send each other gifts, etc. And have never met in person. I deactivated that account about a decade ago. My photo was just a dark silhouette.

I recently am considering feeding disinformation about myself online and I haven’t had a Facebook in many, many years so I’m considering turning this game profile on and adding disinformation about my life slowly so the people finder websites will pick it up.

Is this a mistake or a good idea?

Edit: it used a nickname
