These individuals collect the information you give them, sell them and do other malicious things with it.
Phishing links can track your IP Address, collect information about you and your device, as well as any other sensitive information by keylogging your key strokes.

Often, fake profiles will have suspiciously few friends, generic or AI-generated images, or urgent posts pushing you to click links or engage immediately. These phishing links can secretly track your IP address or record keystrokes to steal sensitive info.
Always double-check profiles before accepting friend requests or clicking links. If something feels off, trust your instincts and avoid interacting. Beware of anyone asking for money or private data, especially if you do not know them personally.
I recommend enabling two-factor authentication on your Facebook account and reviewing privacy settings to limit who can see your posts or contact you. Regularly update your passwords and use unique ones for different sites.
If you encounter fake accounts or suspicious behavior, report them through Facebook’s safety tools immediately. Blocking scammers and alerting others helps protect the online community.
Remember, Facebook scammers thrive on impatience and lack of caution. Taking a moment to verify information and resist urgency is key to staying safe online.
