Heyo! Unfortunately, a good friend of mine was scammed of RM 650 which equals about $150 USD from someone on Instagram running a giveaway scam, one where they make you pay registration fees to get a “free” item. It’s quite an obvious scam but unfortunately my friend isn’t very familiar with internet scams and well, she fell for it. I messaged them myself and sent them a grabify link (https://grabify.link/track/W5S9Q3) which reveals a bit about them but that’s all I did.
Here’s their account, which they undoubtedly scammed from a real person. I’ve reported it to Instagram for impersonation
Any advice what to do next? The scammer knows I’m not falling for their tricks so I don’t know if there’s anything else I can do
Thanks for reading!
