James Thomson

Turns out, there’s an account on Instagram that’s cloned mine, is impersonating me, and sending DMs to my followers. They’ve also blocked me, so I can’t report them.

It’s https://instagram.com/stressspanda (note the three S’s in the middle of the name)

Mine is https://instagram.com/stresspanda

If you’re following me on Instagram, could you please report it, and watch out for scam DMs from the bad one.

Must say the timing was amazing for today 🤬

@jamesthomson WOW, you can't report someone if they blocked you? That is an "ingenious" moderation decision…

@mike I can’t even see the profile!

@mike @jamesthomson That’s unbelievable. I hope Instagram doesn’t start their own credit card.

@jamesthomson Reported. Might be good to remind folks that it’s hard to report a spoof account on IG if one doesn’t follow the spoofed original account. IG doesn’t make this clear. (I didn’t follow you there, but I do now.)

@mhale0 Yeah, it’s confused a lot of folk - thank you!

@jamesthomson
Is this a cunning plan to have me follow you on Insta?

Seriously, I now follow you so I could report the other one. Happy to be of help.

You’re welcome and thank you for the dice. A life saver with two kids and an old board game that had certain very key parts missing.
