Deep breaths. I know it's a high stress situation right now, but logically: what do they actually have of yours? As long as it's not connected to a shop or payment information, then all they really have is access to the photos you've uploaded. Which you can download and reupload on a new account.

Reset any passwords on any other accounts that used the same or similar password. Don't engage with the scammers anymore, and report it to insta. And definitely don't pay them!

I didn't realize they were a scammer....I'm just stupid
We've tried reporting to insta, but nothing will help us
They have my address that I've sent to my friends (irl friends and people I've bought from) on insta
So since they have that, they could have my dad's payment info 😭

Theres nothing

Oki, that's good

 

[DaisySkies]

maybe you can deliver the message to a few people and have them deliver the message to the other people you cant contact?

I will do that, ty

 

[DaisySkies]

I'm really sorry this is happening to you, does your instagram account have personal information etc or anything else that could put you at harm?

My address...I sent it to my irl friends...

 

[DaisySkies]

your so beautiful and nice, you shouldn't hate yourself
your not an idiot and your not stupid so pls don't think that way <3
ik things can be hard, but please don't put yourself down...

This has been going on for a few years now....it's not just from this

We've been trying that but the thing that's stopping us from actually being able to do something is that I can't remember the dang password 😭 and I can't reset it bc my acc is no longer in my control

i dont believe they will do anything with your address, you can try to ask instagram support for help

Can you try following these instructions? I'm not sure on what to do if Meta won't help, nor if this is still available, but you can check?

I've seen this scam in my dm's but ended up blocking them because they were too suspicious.
I don't even know them but they were asking me because I was their "close friend"
Anyways I'm sorry this happened to you D:

 

[Selfmate]

sounds like you got haacked or something
