DON’T FALL FOR THIS INSTAGRAM VOTING SCAM! #ASF
🚨 **INSTAGRAM VOTING FRAUD ALERT!**
🚨 Cybercriminals are preying on our impatience, urgency, and multitasking habits — and one of their latest tricks is **Instagram Voting Fraud**. It looks innocent: A friend, family member, or colleague messages you asking for a quick favor — “Vote for me in this contest!” Sounds harmless, right? But one wrong click could cost you **your account, your data, or even your money**
Here’s how it works:
👉 You get a DM from someone you know.
👉 They ask you to click a link or provide an OTP.
👉 You think, “It’s just a vote, I’ll do it quickly.”
👉 **Boom! You’re hooked.
** Your Instagram account could get hacked, your personal info stolen, or your phone’s data locked with a ransom demand.
**How to Stay Safe:**
✅ **Don’t rush.** Take a breath and think before you click.
✅ **Call or verify** with the person who sent you the request.
✅ **Never share OTPs** — even if it looks like it’s from a friend.
✅ **Turn off unnecessary notifications** so you can stay focused and avoid panic-driven decisions.
