I clicked on it and there was nothing. Three days later I started receiving messages from many of my followers that they had gotten the same message from me and weren’t able to make it work. Then I knew I had been hacked. I changed my password as soon as possible and posted a note letting people know to not click on that message. I hope that’s the end of it. And lesson learned to never click on something in Instagram.an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userAug 25, 2019 at 6:40 PM by "Instagram I Created This Just For You" Scaman anonymous user from: Uppsala, Uppsala County, SwedenHi!
