Online deception is a prevalent phenomena in social media. Creation of sockpuppets are one of the ways of online deception. The detection of such accounts are very important and crucial. We study various tweets and profile based features and propose an automated framework to early detect sockpuppet accounts in Twitter. We obtain high accuracy of 90.98% and a high recall of 0.88 in detecting the sockpuppet accounts.
