She said, "It all started when I planned to submit a verification request to Instagram on my page. So, they give us a form in which we attach our identity documents. So, the complete activity needs to be confidential. But soon next morning I got an email pretending to be from the Instagram team stating that they have verified my page and need me to submit my government identifications so that after review they will get my blue tick appear on my page. And I found it genuine as how will a third party know that I submitted a request. But I was fooled by some hackers."
