Can you imagine someone you know very well starting to announce how well they invest in cryptocurrencies on Instagram Stories with messages in another language? You will probably find this strange, as has happened to followers who knew Jesus, a victim of the trap.

Instagram Screenshot Scam

Many users have already enabled two-step verification on different services, which means that after entering the username and password, you have to enter the SMS received on your mobile to be able to log into your account.

In addition, It all started when an acquaintance of Jesus sent him a message asking for a favor:

Hey, please, I need a favor from you.

Then continue with:

I’m trying to login with my new phone and Instagram won’t let me. They showed me two friends I could contact to help me get a link. Please, if you get a link, take a screenshot so I can log in.

In addition to this strange message, also added a link that the victim doesn’t remember if they clickedbut since it was a known connection, Isa agreed to capture it and then send it to him.

Automatically her Instagram account was disabled and it was impossible to access it.: Her Instagram account was hacked.

Although it appears in the SMS itself we should not give this information to anyone, he agreed as it was close contactso even if a close person starts asking us for an SMS that reaches our mobile, we should not give it.

What happens next will not surprise anyone, because no matter who actually the person behind the other screen was not an acquaintance, but a group of hackers.Like they said on Maldita, she probably already had her phone number.

Not being able to access and promote investment methods in cryptocurrencies while showing off balances, yes, in another language, and showing off, Jesus was not a flamboyant person at all in this case. As we have seen, a simple screenshot can trap us.

luck that Jesus had, hackers failed to delete photos of your accountalthough they changed other elements such as the biography and profile photo describing their investment services. A few days later, Isa was able to regain control of her account thanks to Instagram’s support.
