Instagram Sweepstakes Scams have evolved onto the Instagram platform. The platform is where influencers can make money by promoting products and services of sponsored advertisers.
But that’s not the only way influencers can earn a buck.
It’s common for an influencer to host a contest in which followers enter to win a sponsored product. Entrants typically need to like the post, tag a friend and comment.
Similar to other sweepstakes scams, the “winner” is asked to pay a fee or give up an account number to receive the prize. If so, you’re getting scammed — never send money or reveal financial info.
