We are going to explain to you how to avoid being scammed by fake accounts when you enter an Instagram contest, something you are going to be exposed to often. It is quite common for some official accounts of companies or services to run raffles from time to time to reward their users and gain new followers, and since cybercriminals are always on the lookout, they often take advantage of them to deceive people with phishing campaigns.
Normally, these types of campaigns are carried out using accounts that try to impersonate the identity of the one who is doing the contest, with similar names and the same profile image, although putting in their descriptions that they are the accounts in charge of delivering the raffle prizes. We are going to give you a few tips to try to avoid falling for these deceptions and end up giving your data or your money to strangers.
