    Nothing is safe on the internet, not your password, your name, your address, if you think you are totally protected you are living an illusion.

    You can protect against most but whats left is always the thread. I have levels of safety nets, including a VPN and Lifelock, bitdefender, malware bytes, hitman pro, super antispyware pro and still I am not safe.

    Exactly.

    Quite a few of my friends get their Facebook accounts "hacked". This has happened to me twice: a duplicate account somehow gets set up and my friends get second friend requests. Everyone resets their passwords and it seems to go away.
    The thing is, my passwords are similar to the above examples, impossible to guess. I'm sure no one has guessed my password, so how to they start up duplicate accounts?
    I did get pm's from impostors, I caught on right away when they told me how much money they just won and wanted to show me how they did it. Not sure where it would have lead to if I'd taken the bait.

    So how do they set up duplicate accounts that mirror mine, except for the number of friends (usually the duplicate will show only the friends who have accepted the phony friend requests)?

    They don't need passwords. Or warrants.
