My client has a verified account and cannot go private or risks losing badge.
Someone is sending tens of thousands of fake likes and followers
Before we were going private but we were still flooded by follow requests which cannot be deleted. We lost verification temporary due to going private (or at least probably due to this)
We tried restricting the age and country to 25+ and exclude India/Brazil/Iran which is where most fakes come from, and temporarily deactivating the account but it happens again every few weeks or few days and you can only deactivate an account once a week. Also by the time we react there’s like 20k fakes
Instagram doesn’t allow age restriction above age 25. Before I could have maybe set it to age 100+ but doesn’t work anymore
The same person sends 15-50k fake story views.
We also hide the like count of photos that they attack
Comments restricted to followers so luckily that isn’t an issue.
I’ll send $50 to anyone who has a good idea to stop this without risking losing verification
Also does anybody know if I can get banned from ig for receiving this spam activity?
Thanks!
