IG account suspended asking for ID verification, but my profile is completely anonymous with a fake name & no photos
My Instagram got suspended out of nowhere. I appealed through the app, but it immediately asks me to scan a government ID to prove it's me.
The problem is that it's an alt account where I used a fake name and random birthday when I made it. I also never posted any pictures/videos of myself on there, so there's nothing on the profile that can match my face or ID.
Whenever I upload my actual ID, it just gets rejected because the legal name and birthday don't match what's on the account.
I still have access to the original email and phone number linked to the account, but Instagram isn't giving me any option to verify through a login code or anything. It just keeps sending me back to the ID verification screen.
Has anyone dealt with this and managed to get their account back? Is there some support form I'm missing, a way to get the handwritten code email, or any way to get an actual person to review it?
