Yes, there are tried and tested methods to phish for personal information on social media. SpAM messages with links or attachments to fake websites designed to elicit personal information can be sent as direct messages or shared posts. Phishing websites can also spoof popular social media platforms and ask for login credentials. Furthermore, setting up false social media accounts that appear to be the victim is another effective way of gathering personal information as unsuspecting victims will be tempted to provide it out of confusion.

Yes, there are plenty of methods that can be used to phish for personal information on social media. One of the most effective techniques is to send a friend request or message from an apparently genuine account. In the message, make sure it contains enticing and misleading content in order to entice the individual into replying. Be sure to phrase questions in such away that will require them to input data which you can use later on, like emails and phone numbers - again make sure they seem pertinent so the victim feels compelled to answer. Further methods involve creating false login pages, using bots or apps that can collect information from user's profiles without any interaction with users and using malware too gain access into user accounts.
