I have cool IG news too. I received a message on IG saying that the Instagram Support Team has reviewed my account and they want to give me a blue badge. The grammar of the message wasn't that great, but what the heck, most IT people weren't English majors after all. All I needed to do was verify my account by clicking on a link that took me to a very official looking Instagram verification page where I entered my my username and password. Isn't that awesome, now I have a verified account ... I'm an influencer!

I really pissed the guy off (hahahahahah it was fun) but I already followed @Syrte and @Trev ’s advice and added two-part verification so if he comes after me it’s a dead end.

If this is Dan, then give me the periodic table names of carbon, salt and aluminum.
(And yes- trick question).

Nice I'll pay to to promote my totally legit brand. I'll send you the link to enter your banking account and password for payment.

If wasn’t mine, it was @dsio’s advice! And I still haven’t done it yet myself 🤦 but I will soon!

PS- should we suggest the mods consolidate several threads into one sticky entitled “Beware- Instagram Scams”?
