Why are some people more common targets for Facebook profile impersonation than others?

Earlier tonight I got a Facebook friend request from a profile that appeared to be a duplicate of my grandmother's Facebook profile, with her name and profile picture, but it was noticeably devoid of any other information to suggest that it really was my grandmother recreating her Facebook account.

That'd be bad enough by itself, but this is at least the fourth time it's happened. She's reported the scam accounts every time, but it doesn't seem to deter the scammers from trying again.

What could be making her Facebook profile particularly impersonation-prone, and how can we stop it?
