Hello, For months, we have been waiting to regain access to our hacked Instagram account. We have sent numerous emails but have not received a response. The account disappeared, then reappeared without our control. We are unable to take any actions like posting or engaging, which is very problematic for our business. Our followers were gained through hard work, and now we are unable to do anything for several months without having violated any rules. Is there a solution to recover our legitimate account? Who currently has control over our account? Despite reporting these issues multiple times, we have not received any response or assistance from your team. Regards, Liquideo

My Instagram account @helynejennings_art was hacked on May 14th, and despite reaching out to Instagram support, I have not been provided with any options to recover it. I received an email stating that my email and phone number were changed without my permission, and the password was also altered. I have attempted to verify my identity by sending video selfies and providing screenshots of the hacker's posts on my account to Instagram, but I have not made any progress. I have also regained access to my email account with the help of Apple support, but I am still locked out of my Instagram account. This situation feels impossible, and I am desperate to regain control of my account. Your assistance in recovering my account would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Helyne Jennings MA RCA

Bonjour, Je m'excuse pour le dérangement. En tant que community manager du restaurant Bistro l'Atelier à Aéroville, j'ai rencontré un problème avec mon compte Instagram (bistrolatelier_aeroville). En remplissant le formulaire d'aide, j'ai oublié de changer l'année de naissance et mon compte a été supprimé. J'ai essayé de le récupérer en soumettant ma pièce d'identité plusieurs fois, mais sans succès. Je m'inquiète de la réaction de mon employeur. Pourriez-vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème ou me diriger vers le bon service ? En pièce jointe, vous trouverez ma pièce d'identité et une facture du Bistro. Merci pour votre aide et votre compréhension. Cordialement, E. Sarfati.

Good morning, My username (celmanaiol) was deactivated after I regained access from a hacker on May 21st (Saturday). The hacker altered my email and phone number. I attempted to report the account to prevent the hacker from accessing it and asked friends to do the same. Thankfully, I managed to recover my account. However, I played a prank on one of my friends by pretending to be the hacker offering inappropriate services. This led him to report my account mistakenly, mentioning child-related content, which is untrue. He shared the text message conversation with me while reporting. I can provide these messages if needed. Could you please assist me in reactivating my account? I apologize for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards,

My Instagram account was hacked on Sunday. I live in Canada and received an email from Instagram stating that someone logged into my account from Florida. Instagram prompted me to secure my account by changing the password. However, during the process, it required a 6-8 digit code for two-step authentication which I never set up. The hacker also changed the email and phone number associated with my account. Despite receiving an email from Instagram about the modifications made, the link to revert the changes was expired. The following day, Monday, my friends informed me that the hacker was using my account to post and message people for scams. I am eager to regain access to my account promptly. Please assist me in resetting the password. Thank you.

Hello, I have not yet regained access to my account. When I attempt to use the link provided to reset it, I'm unable to revert it back to my original email address. The account was illegitimately hacked from Nigeria, and the hackers are soliciting money and other things. I receive numerous calls and messages daily. I've submitted a video and my passport to verify that the account belongs to me, under the username kash_Samra, also known as Akashveer Samra. It's been a couple of weeks, and I'm still in the dark about what's happening. I cannot create a new contact list as everyone has to re-add me, and all my photos and posts are inaccessible on my compromised account. The hackers changed the email and password details. I urgently seek your assistance. Thank you, Akashveer (Kash) Samra, BCOM, LLQP, LLB, CPA Work: [redacted] Mobile: [redacted]

I recently downloaded a followers tracking app that allows me to see who unfollowed me on Instagram. After logging into this app using my Instagram account, I found myself locked out of my actual Instagram app. I received a temporary block message due to phishing suspicions, as it seems the app mimicked Instagram and used my same login details. To regain access, Instagram said they would email me a 6-digit code. I checked my email, [redacted], which is linked to my Instagram account (grace.hayashi), and have not received the code after over 24 hours. I have checked my spam folder and attempted to resend the code multiple times without success. I'm feeling quite hopeless as I have tried reaching out to Instagram and testing different devices and browsers to resolve the issue.

I am having difficulty logging into my Instagram account due to changes in my email. I updated my password, then it requested my mobile number which I entered. However, after that, it requested the email address.

On Sunday, May 29th, my Instagram account "natesortof" was hacked. I received a link and clicked on it in my tired state, leading to multiple email changes by the hacker. Despite my efforts to regain access, I couldn't recover the account. Frustrated, I created a new account, "the_luck_of_a_bear," and started following my friends. However, my activity triggered Instagram's suspicion, prompting me to prove I'm not a robot, resulting in my second account being restricted. Instagram accused me of sharing my password for likes or followers, which I didn’t do. I only use the platform to chat with friends and scroll. Despite posting to prove I'm real, Instagram still sees my account as suspicious. Now, it won't accept any new passwords, leaving me stuck in a password reset loop with no solution in sight.

My main Instagram account has been hacked. I've reached out for support via email and provided my selfie with my full name and account name written on a piece of paper twice for verification. Please review this quickly to prevent the hacker from accessing my personal information, defaming me, and scamming my friends/followers. My hacked account, @valcali__, used to be @valcalista until the hacker changed it. The hacker also activated two-step verification to a new number that I don't have access to, making it impossible to reset my password through my email. I am desperate and scared. The hacker used my friend's hacked account to trick me into a "voting" scam, which resulted in me getting logged out of my main account. I am unable to access it and receiving numerous emails about activities I did not do. Despite changing my password, I can't access my account due to the verification code being sent to the hacker's number. I'm in urgent need of help to resolve this alarming situation. I am constantly prompted for an 8-digit code when trying to log in, even after changing my password. I never enabled two-step verification, which complicates regaining access as the code is being sent to the hacker's number. Please assist me in reclaiming my account, as I've put a lot of effort into it and fear the intrusion of someone other than myself. Thank you. Kind regards, Valentina C. H.

Hello, I recently had my personal and hobby (golf) Instagram accounts hacked. I managed to recover my personal account using Instagram's face recognition feature, but my hobby account remains inaccessible due to not sharing my full identity publicly. Despite following Instagram's guidelines and attempting various methods from their help center, I have been unable to regain access. Any advice on how I can retrieve my account with 1.5k followers and [redacted] posts would be greatly valued. I want to apologize to my followers for any scam attempts made by the hackers. It's puzzling that both accounts were compromised together. I appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thank you.

Hello Instagram, I am reaching out regarding my account with the username "yuvraj0331sharma" and email address [redacted] Unfortunately, I am unable to access my account due to my phone being stolen and losing access to both my Gmail and phone number.

I previously submitted a photo of myself with the given code as per your request, but have not received a response. My account contains personal data and photos that I highly value. As a result, if I am unable to regain access, I kindly request that the account be deleted to protect my privacy. For further communication, my new email address is [redacted], and my phone number is +91 [redacted]. I am deeply concerned about the security of my information and would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance for your help, Yuvraj S.

Hello, I have encountered an issue with Instagram. I recently discovered that someone has created a fake Instagram account using my name and, more notably, a photo of my 2 children (both minors), "a stolen photo from Facebook." At the same time, this person is insulting my family because they posted a message on my fake profile saying "I hate my family". I am asking and hoping that this account is deleted, as it is causing real problems in my life, especially with my family. My real Instagram account is ferreiraanbela0 and the fake account is anab.elaferreiraa. Therefore, I kindly request that you delete this account as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

I serve as the marketing director for Tom Dwyer Automotive Services. We manage three Instagram accounts: TomDwyerAutomotive, TomDwyerAuto, and Tom Dwyer under my name, ChazLwood. We aim to deactivate both TomDwyerAuto and ChazLwood. Unfortunately, I am only able to log in as ChazLwood currently. Despite my efforts, I have only been able to access TomDwyerAuto but have been unsuccessful in accessing TomDwyerAutomotive to reset the password. Instagram is not providing any options for the account I wish to maintain. This has been a frustrating experience causing disruptions with my colleagues. I require assistance in gaining access to TOMDWYERAUTOMOTIVE, which has 28 posts and 52 followers. My primary contact email is [redacted], but below I have included my dedicated company email for better communication.

Subject: Request to Unlock @lizakorobenko_ Instagram Account Dear Instagram Support Team, I, Elizaveta Andreevna Korobenko, am writing to request the unlocking of my @lizakorobenko_ account. I am willing to provide any necessary documents and photos as proof that the account, linked phone number, email, and other information are indeed mine. My account holds significance as it contains valuable connections with friends, especially those from war-torn regions where I currently find myself unable to reach out. I have posted a personal photo on my profile, and I can verify its authenticity if needed. Upon reviewing Instagram's community guidelines, I acknowledge any mistakes made that may have violated their rules. I sincerely apologize and assure you of my commitment to adhering to the community guidelines henceforth. Thank you for your understanding and assistance. Warm regards, Elizaveta A. Korobenko

My Instagram account's payment ads were disabled due to a failure to comply with their rules. I acknowledge the mistake and have converted it to a personal account. However, I am now facing difficulty switching it back to a professional account. Additionally, my Facebook page has been deleted, and I am unable to locate it or appeal the deletion successfully. I urgently require my Instagram account to be restored to a professional status to continue my business endeavors.
