Instagram Account Temporarily Locked

Hi,

purchased an account a while ago and about a week ago it got temporarily locked, the issue is the only way to retrieve it is via a phone number which was connected to the account before me, even though i changed all the details with my own, they still only requested his number.

is there any way around that, i do have the og email, i’ve been reaching out to him for the past 3 days and he’s been ignoring me, he cannot take the account as i changed the password but he can keep me out of the account since i do not have that phone number.

he’s been a member here but got banned for backing out of deals, and i guess he’s been taking it on me…

i’ve sent the staff a message to help out, but i also wanted all the help i could get.

Thanks
