Abstract - On-line social networks have growninpopularity, influencing people's social life and causing them to become involved with numerous social mediasites. Cyber-attackshave become common in the last decade, posing a severe threat to the digital world. Individuals and corporations are increasingly concerned about cyber security as they utilise social media. Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are just a few of the many social networking sites. A majority of people are unaware of the risks, and their lack of information contributes to an increase in cyber-crime. Instagram is one of the social media sites that have gained popularity. This platform is popular for sharing photographsandvideos, andit has proven to be beneficial for celebrities, businesses, and anyone with a large following. Fake business accountsareone of the most common forms of malicious activity on Instagram. This research proposes an effective strategy for identifying Instagram fake business accounts.

3.1SentimentAnalysis

Sentiment Analysis is used in a variety of sectors, includingmarketingtodeterminecustomerreactiontoanew productorservice,andbysocialmedia,userstodetermine public opinion on a topic that is currently trending. It can assist manufacturers in determining launch plans for new itemsbasedonresponsestopriorversionsofthatproductin variousgeographicareas.Itcanalsobeusedtodetectheated debates in comments, as well as the usage of abusive language and spam. Sentimental Analysis can be phrasebased, which considers the sentiment of a single phrase, sentence-based,whichconsidersthesentimentoftheentire sentence, or document-based, which considers the aggregatedsentimentoftheentiredocumentandcategorises itaspositive,negative,orneutral.Theprocessofsentiment analysisisusuallybrokendownintothreeparts.Thesubject towardwhichthesentimentisdirectedisfirstidentified,then thesentiment'spolarityisdetermined,andfinally,thedegree ofpolarityisassignedusingasentimentscorethatindicates thesentiment'sintensity.
