Instagram phishing is a $2.4B/yr criminal industry. Here are the 7 red flags that always indicate a scam, the most common attack patterns, and what to do if you've fallen.
Safe alternative - no login ever requested. Free to test. No card required.
Visit GoomViewYes, usually within 24-48 hours via Instagram's account recovery process. See our recovery guide.
No. The ones we recommend (GoomView, AnonyIG, StoriesIG) are safe - they don't ask for credentials. We tested 47 tools; 15 were scams, 32 were safe.
Rarely, and only for specific things (login alerts, password resets you initiated). Random "verify your account" emails are always phishing.
In the Instagram app: Settings > Help > Report a Problem. Also report to Meta's phishing form at meta.com/security/phishing.
