Ive rawdogged it with my real name, and a bare email (no alias), no vpn, bone stock chrome, and they still need a video selfie from me. im not comfortable with that (though i might cave eventually, i need to look at cheap shitboxes, dont know of any oother sites like that)

thanks all

      I’ve had two cases where phishers have tried to create an account to impersonate my aunt. My guess this is an attempt to curtail these phishing schemes.

      Instagram wanted that to re-activate my account after they froze it due to “inactivity” because I hadn’t logged into it in a couple of months.

      I noped out and abandoned it (because I couldn’t even delete it without first going through the privacy invision to reactivate it and login…)
