As wonderful as it would be to win an iPhone 13 just by booting up Instagram, if it’s too good to be true, it usually is. However, generous giveaways can happen in real life, so some users may need some extra persuading about the Instagram iPhone 13 scam that’s currently doing the rounds on the popular social media platform. Here’s the need-to-know info on the Instagram “Congratulations! You have won an iPhone 13” message.
Is the Instagram iPhone 13 “Congratulations!” message a scam?
Yes, the Instagram iPhone 13 “Congratulations!” message is a scam. It is not safe to click the button and enter any requested details.
Unfortunately, the Instagram platform is being used by scam artists to get users’ personal information. This includes banking details, which are never wise to give out willy-nilly.
Though many users will immediately recognize the message as a scam attempt, some may be allured by the possibility of receiving a free iPhone 13 and act without thinking properly about the consequences.
If the Instagram iPhone 13 scam message appears on screen, avoid clicking through to it. Users are advised to change their Privacy Settings to make Mentions “People you follow” only. This will stop random accounts messaging you.
Hopefully Instagram is working to remove the iPhone 13 scam messages from its platform, as there are surely going to be some users that are falling for the trap. Here’s hoping it gets fixed sooner rather than later!
