They started by asking me to be their brand ambassador. I din’t think twice after looking at their page because i saw it had over 30k followers . So i replied to their DM…
They then asked me for my number and ID i din’t give them my ID coz of known reasons. I gave them my number innocently and gmail .
After that i went offline coz i was finishing my errands Going back on my phone i was so surprised that i’ve been logged out from my account just like that then afew of my friends called me asking why i’m posting condom adverts i got so shocked then the guy started texting a few people asking for the contacts and he deleted some of my pics and videos.
With the help of. Afew friends we managed to log him out thats why he didnt continue with his shawdy work but still at this time i could not access my account so a pal called Roy came to me n told me that there’s no way out of this and that i should contact instagram directly .
