🚨 Instant Unban Scam Alert
Scammers are actively running a fake "instant unban" service, typically offering lower than usual prices ranging from $500 - $700 to lure buyers in.
The method: During the deal, the scammer subtly alters the IG username by swapping a couple of characters, gets the buyer to confirm the fake link in the MM group, then simply claims that username on an account they control and presents it as a successful unban.
For example:
instagram.com/alex_vazovsky → instagram.com/alex_vasozsky
A similar case happened with @wave as the middleman (See Images), but the scam was identified and the buyer was safely refunded.
Read the full breakdown and example here:
