Get an email or personal info quickly - xevenofhearts - 06-28-2013
Get an email or generally any simple info
Full article from old blog, not redirecting anywhere. Enjoy!
First off, talk to the person a bit. This is common sense in SE, but I'll reiterate some stuff here. Don't find a random person and try to social engineer them. Be patient, become their friend, get to know them; but don't let them know you as well ( or talk about "yourself" which is really some stuff you're making up on the spot)
Now for this example of getting an email address, you could really make them give you the address by simply asking for it, but you could apply the method I'm teaching you to other places, so listen up
Ask something like this to them :Isn't your email email@Email.com?
Since you don't know the actual email, your answer will probably not be accurate, but again, this is where knowing the person just a bit comes in handy. Maybe guess (Their's) first.lastname@Gmail.com You may turn out to be pretty close, making this believable. If you're right, then you've gotten lucky, but if not, this is triggering them to confirm their actual email.
Now your victim, erm, friend, is now thinking of their actual email. This SE method will hopefully work, if they trust you enough. Pretty harmless question in their eyes, so they'll probably reply with :
No, my email is email@Email.com
And in about 2 minutes you have their email. Now you can use the email for whatever the heck you want to do (I don't support blackhat activity, but I believe it's great to know how someone might social engineer you and therefore you become less vulnerable to being SE'd.). Hopefully this helps you guys out, and of course apply it to more than just getting an email!

I was trained 3 years for fight skills, human manipulation, survival in the nature and things like that, so I would like to see someone try this on me.

Simple, but often overlooked by many.
