Anyone know what’s up with this?? For the past 2 weeks or so I’ve gotten several follow requests every single day from foreign men. I’m an American woman with a private account, and most of the accounts have a few followers but are following thousands of accounts. What’s the scam here?? I assume they’re bots but why do they want to follow me? It’s getting to be pretty creepy. I’ve also gotten one or two “login attempts” from random locations, and I’ve always changed my password each time. Why do they want my IG?
