THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE, PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE ON YOUR STORY AND ALSO POST INTO YOUR INSTAGRAM FEED.
THIS MESSAGE IS URGENT, BECAUSE THE HACKERS ARE STEALING ACCOUNTS OF MY FOLLOWERS.
On Saturday, our Boil and Broth pets account was hacked. These hackers are now going through my contacts on Instagram and contacting all my followers pretending to be me. They will send you a message to say that I am in need of help and I can't get back in to Instagram. They will tell you that Instagram has changed the way they activate accounts and they need to send a link to two of my friends to help get my account back online. They then send a link to your mobile phone and say do not click on the link, but send the link as a screenshot back to them. Once you follow this, they then type in the URL into the website and have complete access to change your password. At this point, you've lost your account and will not be able to get it back.
Instagram do not help. I spent 24 hours trying to get my account back, but there is no support from Instagram, just their website with information that does not help.
If you are hacked, then please make sure you instantly call your bank and cancel your bank card associated with the account, otherwise they will start spending and using your card for Bitcoin advertising.
To avoid being hacked, please make sure you have set up your TWO-STEP VERIFICATION. This is vital and will help to protect your account.
We now have a new Instagram account for our Pets Page called on Instagram. Please follow that and help us to build our following back.
