Hello, I am encountering an issue with my account being disabled. One morning, upon opening Instagram, I received a message stating that I had violated guidelines. I proceeded to enter my details (name, surname, email, phone number) for verification with the promise of regaining access within 24 hours. Regrettably, this did not occur. The following day, my account vanished, and attempts at logging in through password recovery have been unsuccessful. I am reaching out as this seems to be an error, as I have never breached any guidelines and I would be disappointed to lose my profile unjustly.

I am encountering an issue with my Instagram account, hiteshbhardwaj43. I am having trouble receiving text messages. Although I can send messages and the other person receives them, I cannot view their responses. I see message notifications, but when I open the chat, the messages do not load. I have attempted various solutions like reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, deactivating and reactivating my account. I have also verified that my account has no violations. However, the problem persists, and I am unable to receive messages effectively.

Someone is using my ID on Instagram and posting my pictures and videos along with inappropriate content. They are also following my friend. Their username is cutegirlmonika420. Please delete this account as it is tarnishing my reputation as a girl. We kindly request you to delete it. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Ashley Burkhead. Last year, my account was hacked, and despite my efforts to retrieve it, it now shows as an Instagram user, implying the hacker no longer has it. I have reported this issue multiple times, but I have not regained access to my account. The account in question is Ashley_r_burkhead4. I am seeking assistance to recover my account as this situation has been incredibly distressing for me. Your help in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Instagram, I am reaching out today because I am unable to access my Instagram account. I have lost my backup codes and my two-factor authentication.

Hello, I go by Shadia Adonis and my Instagram handle is @y.u.n.v_me. I am a freelance photoshoot model and a social media influencer for a well-known Caribbean beverage brand called RudeBoy, an events company named RoyalEventz, and I also run an online store called Goddessnesss, among other ventures. I have previously contacted you regarding my account. I am confused because I haven't posted anything recently that could violate any rules. I heavily rely on my account to showcase my work, promote my brands and businesses, keep in touch with friends and family, and share my interests. I have dedicated a lot of effort into growing my following since joining, and Instagram is my preferred platform. Can you please help me with this issue?

On June 27, [redacted], the ban on monetization and recommendations was supposed to expire. It’s already June 29, [redacted], and the ban is still in place. I request that the ban be lifted promptly. Previously, when these restrictions were active, everything worked fine. However, now it seems the ban has not lifted automatically as expected on the 27th. This absence of information is affecting my ability to connect with my followers. My posts are not showing up in their feeds, and I am not appearing in search results under my nickname. Even my mother, who uses Instagram solely to follow me, has mentioned she is missing my stories and posts in her news feed.

Subject: Urgent Assistance Needed for Hacked Instagram Account and Abusive/Misinformation Posts Dear Instagram Help Support Team, I hope this message reaches you well. I am reaching out to report a serious issue regarding my Instagram account, which has been compromised and is currently being utilized to post abusive content and spread false information related to financial matters. The impact on my reputation and the potential harm to others is deeply troubling to me.

The hacker has been sharing abusive content and spreading misinformation about financial activities under my identity. These posts are damaging both personally and professionally, potentially misleading and defrauding unsuspecting individuals. Steps taken to address the situation: Password Reset: I tried to reset my password using the "Forgot Password" option, but the hacker changed the associated email, blocking me from receiving password reset emails.

However, due to the compromised nature of my account, I am uncertain about the effectiveness of these reports. Given the seriousness of this issue, I urgently seek your intervention and support in resolving this matter. Swift removal of the abusive posts is vital to prevent further harm. I also implore you to thoroughly investigate the incident and take appropriate actions against the individual(s) behind this attack. I trust in Instagram's dedication to user safety and content integrity. I am willing to cooperate and provide any necessary information to aid in the investigation.

Good day, my name is Elena Stepanova. I own the account @stepashka6_. I am contacting customer support because on July 11th, my account was blocked possibly due to a system error or hacking incident. I follow the rules of Instagram* and have not violated them, so the block may have been a misunderstanding. I kindly request the unblocking of my account.

Dear support team, I am reaching out for urgent assistance regarding a distressing situation. Recently, I was deceived by a fraudulent individual on Instagram under the username e_hannah111. Sadly, I engaged with this person via Snapchat under the alias e_hannah71, mistakenly believing it was a genuine connection. Regrettably, I shared inappropriate images, and now I am being threatened by the scammer to expose this content to my Instagram followers unless I pay them with Steam Cards. The individual, despite appearing Indian, is not local to my area, which complicates matters further. I am reluctant to comply with their demands as there is no guarantee of deletion once paid. My utmost concern is the potential harm this may cause to my reputation. Please, I implore your swift intervention in resolving this distressing predicament. Thank you sincerely for your anticipated prompt assistance.

My account was hacked in the past, and the hacker replaced my phone number with their own in my personal details, which is now linked to two-factor authentication. Even though I have my username and password, I can't access my account because it keeps asking for a security code sent to the scammer's number. I need assistance to resolve this issue and disable two-factor authentication to revert back to a single authentication method using my own number.

My account has been compromised, and I am unable to access it currently. Someone created a fraudulent account using my sister's identity, requesting me to support them as an influencer. They instructed me to link their email address, [redacted], to my account. I replaced my original email, [redacted], with the fake one. Subsequently, multiple accounts were added through this false email, and now I cannot log in. Although I recall my password, the system indicates that I am logged in on another device and requires authorization to proceed with my login attempts, which has not been granted.

User: Sabina K. Phone: +[redacted]48 In [redacted], I opened an account and provided a phone number and email address, [redacted], for verification. Unfortunately, I have lost access to the email address. I am trying to restore my account as I have forgotten the password, but I am not receiving the confirmation code on my phone even though it is supposed to be sent. My account was last accessed from a Samsung A 18+ and an iPhone 7. Additionally, my account is linked to Facebook, but I am unable to access my Instagram through that platform.

I am confused about why my Instagram account keeps getting disabled. I take all the photos myself and own the copyright to them. I always follow Instagram's terms of use and have not violated any intellectual property rights. I would appreciate it if you could review my account. I have been running my luxury business on Instagram since [redacted]. I am a certified luxury goods appraiser. I am unsure why Instagram suspects me of selling counterfeit goods. However, all the items I sell are authentic. They accuse me of selling fakes without any proof, which is distressing and unfair. I feel hurt by this situation and do not want to see my hard work of four years go to waste.
