instagram copyright scams

The more popular our Instagram account becomes (we currently have 94k followers as I write this article,) the more scam emails we receive. I can’t say how many of these emails we’ve received because some of them (thank goodness) end up in the spam folder. However, it’s been dozens, if not hundreds!

Every day, millions of people worldwide fall victim to scams that aim for two things; your sensitive personal information and, yes, you guessed it, money! I am writing this article to warn potential victims of fraud because I had such an experience two years ago, and it was extremely stressful.

Below you will also find some examples of emails that scammers commonly send.

Instagram Copyright Infringement Scams

I received this email today. At first glance, it looked authentic, and I was horrified in the first seconds (even though we already have experience with these emails.)

Anyone running an Instagram account, small or large, wants only the best for their account or brand. So the first thing that everyone would do is to appeal to Instagram by clicking the blue button.

I didn’t click the button because I knew I would be putting myself at great risk. However, I noticed in the Google Chrome bar that the button leads to the following link: bit.ly/3RYmJup.

Hmm, why would Instagram use a URL shortener? Since I don’t know where the link goes, I put a + symbol after the URL address, which allowed me to see the final destination URL. And here we have it:

The shortened bitly link leads to a website that Google doesn’t even index. Since I’m super curious, I want to see what the scam site looks like. But again, I don’t want to put myself at risk. The first thing that comes to mind is to use an online website screenshot tool like site-shot.com.

What do we have here? Error message! Either the website has been reported and is no longer working, or the webmasters are experiencing technical issues. Whatever the problem, this simple trick helped me figure out what they were and that the email I received was a scam.
