Has anyone here lost access to their Instagram account or been scammed on it? What happened?

Question

I’ve seen a lot of stories about Instagram accounts being hacked, scammed, or locked, and it made me wonder how common this really is. If this has ever happened to you, what was the situation? How did you lose access or get scammed, and what did Instagram support do or not do? Any lessons or red flags you wish you had noticed earlier? I’d love to hear your experiences so others can learn from them.
