Thought I’d post on this sub too. So I recently got a text message from the number: 89854. The message stated: "[random letters] is your Instagram code. Don't share it. [more random letters]". They sent the same message again a minute later from the same number, just different number code thing. I found this odd because I know Instagram usually sends numbers rather than letters. And the whole text message seems odd to begin with. What's with the two sets of letters? My question is: is someone trying to access my Instagram account for real, like is the text legit, or is this just phishing and something spoofed the official instagram text and is pretending to be Instagram to scare me? I immediately changed my password through my Instagram app, and blocked the number. Never opened the messages or clicked anything, Any ideas? I’m worried. I feel like this is fake,but I’m not sure if it is real. No link or anything, just a random letter code. Again,which I find odd since Instagram uses number codes.
