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 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!
