When people slide into a stranger’s DMs on Instagram, how do they even know if the person is in the same city? Does Instagram show their city?

It does if you put it in. I don’t know…. I don’t typically try to meet people I don’t know. It’s not worth the risk

Let me guess, they ask you where you are from, how you are and what you do for a living?

Is that what they actually do? I ask because I have no idea I don’t use Instagram

All I know is that's there's many scammers that do this to get info out of you to create a new fake account with your stuff, they also ask for pictures so if they do, don't give it to em, I like messing with them tho
