Facebook does not allow accounts that don't represent a real person (fake accounts). This is clearly stated in their TOS.

To report a Facebook page for being fake.
  1. Visit the timeline that you believe is fake
  2. Click the How do I report a fake Facebook account?Report/Block
  3. Follow the on-screen directions to file a report

What is a fake account? Do you mean where someone is impersonating a celebrity?

I'm guessing a fake Facebook account would be one that is a secondary account to a main Facebook account, such as one used for spamming links in Groups. I think there could be a lot of reasons for someone having more than one Facebook account though, not just spamming.
