Two of my Swiss friends had their Instagram accounts hacked. I found this out when someone else posing as each of them started separate chats in French in Instagram’s Messenger. The hackers 1st asked for my help. Then it escalated to asking for my cell phone no. to help them receive a code to unlock their accounts. Then, the hacker asked for my bank card number (!). I immediately deleted the chats & notified my friends, who confirmed that they’d been hacked. Beware! Hackers are ruthless.
