Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Every Change Password page I have seen requires you to type in your current password first.
At some point in this little drama, the woman had to type her current password into something. Alarm bells should be going off in your head the moment anyone not on a Help Desk asks you to type your password into anything.
If I understand correctly, the whole point of taking over this woman's website was to bombard her 4,000 customers with bogus Bitcoin ads?
That is freaking ridiculous!
Grammar is bad and if they have to tell you it is real and legit, it isn’t.
Golly. If you can’t trust the Chinese commies who can you trust?
Some scammer texted me a reset link to my Amazon account. I could tell it wasn’t from Amazon. But a less experienced computer user might have been fooled.
It’s hard to believe, in late 2022, that there are still people who are this stupid.
“Scammers are duping small business owners into sending the password reset link to their Instagram page under the guise of confirming their identity.”
not news ... EVERYONE uses this scam ... i get at least two of them every week ...
This is deceit, not hacking. Could be done with any website. Not specific to Instagram, Facebook or Paypal.
