Escrocherie pe Instagram. Utilizatorii sunt șantajați cu închiderea conturilor. Cum funcționează frauda? • Newsweek România

Content creators on Instagram are facing a blackmail scheme where scammers file false copyright complaints to extort money. These scammers threaten account suspension if their demands are not met. Many creators have reported significant financial losses due to account suspensions resulting from these fraudulent claims. The scheme exploits Instagram's copyright protection system, with scammers submitting unjustified complaints and then contacting victims for payment to retract them. Some creators have even paid small amounts to quickly regain access to their accounts. The issue has prompted legal action in India, with courts demanding accountability from Meta regarding these abuses. Meta claims to have systems in place to protect users but acknowledges the challenges posed by the volume of complaints.
