Either I cashed in some sweet crypto and bought a Lamborghini … or someone hacked my Instagram account.
The most frustrating part is that I can't recover the account. 2FA isn’t working correctly so I can't reset my password. As a backup to confirm I'm me, Instagram asks for a video selfie to compare against photos in my account. But no matter how many selfies I submit, Instagram won't confirm me.
So I'm in Instagram hell, with an account I can't access, but someone else can. Meanwhile, they're using the account to spam my followers with nefarious requests about a new bakery "I" am opening that I can only assume will get them hacked, too.
Help!
If you work at Instagram or Meta and can help me get my account back (or can direct me to someone who can) I'll be eternally grateful.
For now, don’t click any links in any of "my" Insta Stories or Insta DMs from "my" account.
