You will will receive an email saying your identity is confirmed and now you can use the below link to reset password as well as backup codes. Now is the most crucial part, you have to open up a notepad on your pc with your email ID, number and password you would want to reset.

Enter the security code from there, in some cases it will ask for a backup code if he hasn't changed it you can enter in the one you have else just do try another way. This will pull up your phone and email, click on one of them it will send you a pin on the phone or email. This will be the email and number of the scammer ,ignore those and do get more help just below. Do a forgot password, it will show devices and emails linked to your account. Go to the instagram app on your cell, enter the username(he's probably changed it but not to worry ask a friend what's it changed to or use a switch account to search your name). This is where you need your cell and a pc handy side by side.

Your friends are telling you he's posting stuff about bitcoin and asking them for screenshots as well. Okay moving on, now you are out of the instagram account and you are trying to get back in. If that doesn't work it's alright he's probably changed the backup codes too. If you still can't do that then use your backup codes to login quickly and change everything back. Now for a person who has received the email you have make sure to click the link within 15 mins to revert back the changes else it's gone. I am even getting updates of it being changed, email, number, 2fa and backup codes. And post it on my story, one of my friends message me saying hey I will send you a link can you send me a screenshot I want to see how it looks like(I didn't pay much heed thinking what can happen with a screenshot) I send it and the next think you know, my account has been logged out and everything is being changed. So Monday night I come back from the boxing club and upload a picture of the bag I destroyed and broke down. What you would need to recover your account: Your cell A laptop/pc Pictures of yourself on insta Backup codes(take a screenshot and keep it safe, If not this will still work) Hope this helps someone in need(dear God, I don't want anyone to go through the anxiety I did) I have recovered my account, just want to help anyone going through the same thing. But we'll keep trying.Yes that's true I am trying to spread the word with this comment. Just like Gordon, CBS 2's Saavedra still had not heard back from Meta as of late Monday night. In the past, we've heard back from Meta with promises to look into our viewers' issues. We've covered many stories about people getting hacked out of their Facebook or Instagram accounts. "Knowing that that platform has that much power and how much money they make - for them to sit there and say we are working to create the safe space, but they are knowingly doing the absolute minimum - it couldn't be more disconnected," Gordon said. She feels betrayed enough to want to leave the platform, and is frustrated that she feels she can't - because these days, Instagram is part of doing business, whether it protects hers or not. "This person is going to have control of my page forever."Īt a loss, Gordon created a new page, Chicago Haven Maven. "That there is zero help - and you can't even report the problem - is there anything worse than that?" Gordon said. The hacker even messaged Saavedra herself - trying the ploy after she followed the account, with that same message now coming from the FancyHavenMaven account, "Can I send you a link and you send it back to me." In the last 14 days, Gordon says the hacker has scammed two of her followers out of several thousand dollars in a Bitcoin scheme.
