(CNN) - You can't believe everything you read on the Internet, and that holds true for Facebook.
Consumer Reports found that about one out of every four Facebook users lies on their profile.

Others use incorrect or incomplete names to hide from employers, or list fake birthdays to foil potential identity thieves.
