Besides not only mean motives can become the reason of asking how to see Facebook profiles. The most widespread reasons why people want to see someone’s private profile are the following:

You can use the following social engineering methods to figure out how to see Facebook private profiles:

1) Ask the right question. Even if a person has a private profile on Facebook you can send to him/her a message in a form of a question that may cause interest. For instance, ask about the party that these people have visited recently. The main aim is to get any answer from this person. By answering to someone who doesn’t belong to their friends’ lists they give you the right to surf on their private profiles where you wish during 24 hours.

2) The second method is to pretend an old friend of a person whose private profile you want to view. Browse through their friends’ list and find those friends that have no profile pictures and are offline at the moment. Then use the username of this old acquaintance and sign up for Facebook using this data. Then appeal to a person with a private profile with a friend’s request explaining a necessity to have a new account by the lost password. This happens all the time on Facebook and a person with a private profile can make you your friend easily.

Usually these two social engineering methods are more than enough to see Facebook private profiles.
