There was a case where an online predator targeted a vulnerable person on a social media platform. They started by sending friendly messages, then gradually tried to isolate the victim from their real - life friends. The victim became suspicious when the predator asked for their address under false pretenses. Thankfully, they didn't give it and blocked the person.
A woman once shared her story. She joined an online community for artists. There was a member who was overly interested in her personal life.

Sure. There was a case where a man posed as a teenage boy on a popular social network. He befriended several young girls. Over time, he started asking for inappropriate photos, claiming it was part of a 'private game'. Some of the girls, not realizing his true intentions, sent the photos. Eventually, the parents found out and reported him to the authorities.
One common tactic is false identity. Predators often pretend to be someone they're not, like a peer or a helpful figure. For example, they might claim to be a famous gamer or a music star's assistant.
