@lexibaebie 🚫 6. Watch for Recovery Scams
Avoid anyone who says:
•“Pay me and I’ll recover it”
•“I know someone at Instagram”
•“DM this hacker”
⚠️ These are scams and can make things worse.
@lexibaebie 5. Reset Password (If Still Possible)
If you can still access your email:
•Tap Forgot password
•Reset your password
•Immediately:
•Change your email password
•Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA)
@lexibaebie 4. Try Logging In From a Trusted Device or Location
If you’ve logged in before:
•Use the same phone, Wi-Fi, or location you normally use
•This increases your chances of successful recovery
@lexibaebie 3. Request Identity Verification (Selfie Video)
If the hacker changed your email/phone:
•Instagram may ask you to submit a selfie video
•Move your head in different directions so they can match it to your profile photos
This is one of the strongest recovery methods.
@lexibaebie Use “Secure Your Account” in the App
If you can’t log in:

👉 If you find it:

•This can instantly undo the hacker’s changes
@ReardonReports You clipped that video yesterday. You’re purposely painting a false narrative. That woman initiated that confrontation right in front of her son and thought that she would be safe by running into the store. She chose to threaten the wrong person at the wrong time.
Which is why you clearly hear her son saying two wrongs don’t make a right. Where he went wrong was yelling at an adult as a child. None of this would’ve happened if she had simply apologized for threatening the woman that came in the store to call her bluff.
