Over the last 40 days there have been a number of different Instagram DM Hacks. From the Worst Wall to the Most Annoying List to the Most Gross. All of these DMs had a link to click in which Instagram users were asked to sign in. Once they signed back in to Instagram, the phishing account had their password. The latest DM hack on Instagram is the $1000 free Visa Gift Card. Email us the screenshot of the DM you received at jesse@wojdylosocialmedia.com so we can report what is being sent around.
It looks like this:
It says something to the effect of:
“Instagram user, you won’t believe this! I received a $1000 VisaGiftCard from @Get_Your_VisaGiftCard_Now yesterday and all I did was participate a little bit and they actually sent it. I used it to get a new gaming computer I’ve been wanting LOL. I thought you would want one also since your following me. Hurry tho there is only a few of them left.”
They can obviously change it up a bit like in the second DM talking about getting a new TV. We have seen a number of different versions of this hack DM and they are all spam. Do not follow the user or click any links.
Did you get a free $1000 Visa Gift Card Instagram DM? If so, please comment below with the date and time in which you received it and exactly what it said.

I got a message from my friend asking me to click a link for a $1000 visa gift card. Does the hacker respond to your dms? Cuz I want to have fun with this guy
I clicked on it before reading this what should I do?
Change password
Hi, sorry if this is too late, but you should get an email to your email address saying your account had a strange login (something along those lines). It will say that if this was on purpose, you should ignore it, but if your account was hacked or logged in to without your own actions, you should change your password. So, the best thing you should do, is change your password – this is what I did practically straight after I got hacked and my account is fine, as it will have kicked the hacker out.
