Can you really hire a fake Facebook girlfriend<\/strong>? In 2012 it was a quirky internet trend: on gig sites like Fiverr, people paid as little as $5 for a “virtual girlfriend” who would post flirty comments, love emoticons<\/a> and cute pictures on their Facebook wall for a week, sometimes even changing her relationship status.
