Personal Information - Social Media and Online Accounts
Most people today have at least one social media account, and chances are you have shared information about yourself and your activities on that platform. Whether it be Instagram, Facebook, or even LinkedIn, sharing information on these platforms means that anyone with access to your profile can see it. If your profile is public, then anyone (including scammers) can keep track of your profile and look for your name, where you live, where you work, who your friends are, and where you live. These, and many more details, can all be used against you in scams.
