The scammer pretends to be a big-name IG account and Changed Name After Reach Thousands of Followers
If you follow Facebook, you should know that some Internet users have debunked an Instagram scam. The scam method is to use the names of other big brands as their account names, and then defraud Instagram followers! The specific incident was that a netizen exposed the fraud on a Facebook post. The scammer’s method of operation is to convert his Instagram account name into the names of major brands such as “UNIQLO”, “H&M”, and “Nike”. In addition, the account will also advertise that if the number of followers reaches 15,000, a bonus of up to RM500 will be given out.
Because of this, many users have followed the “fake big-name account.” However, the scammers are also very smart. When the number of Followers reached 14,000, they immediately changed the account back to the name of an ordinary account.
After similar incidents were dismantled, many netizens left messages under the post, saying that many big brands have been faked one after another. Although this incident did not cause any price damage, it is still a bad example! Don’t pretend or deceive in order to get more fans! All major users must ensure the authenticity of the account when following the account. There will be a small blue tick at the end of the official account name! In addition, don’t easily believe in any prize-giving activities, so as not to fall into the trap of fraud!
