Instagram has over a billion accounts, and 20% of them are fakes. We will tell you what kind of animals they are and why a fake user can harm you.
This is an account created using other people's personal photos, videos, and other information. Most often, such accounts copy the pages of famous artists, bloggers, online stores, and other well-known users.
It's simple. The one who creates them wants to earn income by selling your content or thus promote an account, and later sell it. Or just wants to make you nervous.
Instagram algorithms are imperfect. Intruders know this and create fake accounts so that the owner of the original one report fake account for pretending to be him/her. The result of such a report would be a ban of an original account.
If you found your fake on Instagram, try to solve everything peacefully. Contact the owner of this account, try to explain him that he is stealing your content, and ask him to remove it from the page. If this method does not help, then complain about copyright infringement. If you report this account for impersonating you, you will lose your account.
Is it possible to restore account after such type of a ban? Yes, and we are always ready to help with this.
