This is a new twist.
For people who have sold watches through Instagram - beware if you leave a trail of private messages including all sorts of personal details.
You may trust the person and use IG messaging as a convenience, but what happens when their account gets hacked? 🤦

Today I just received a weird dm from a friend’s account which clearly indicates to me his account got hacked. I had to go back into our messages to scrub as much as I could, but I’ll never know if I acted fast enough.
