"Anyone Know How to Get an IG Shop Banned for Scam? They’re Ripping People Off!"

Ugh, so frustrated rn. Found this IG shop selling fake designer stuff, and they’ve scammed SO many people. Tried reporting them, but nothing’s happened yet.

How to get an IG shop banned for scam? I’ve heard mass reports work, but idk if ppl are actually doing it. Also, does leaving comments warning others help?

If you’ve successfully taken down a scam store, PLS share how you did it. Like, do we need to report the posts, the profile, or both? Any other tricks?

Tired of these fake stores getting away with it. Let’s get this one shut down!

(Also, if you’ve been scammed by them, drop your story below—might help build the case.)
Mass reporting is def the way to go for how to get an IG shop banned for scam. Get friends or other victims to report the profile AND individual posts.

Also, leave comments warning others—scammers hate that. If they delete your comments, screenshot everything as proof for IG.

Check out Scamadviser or Who.is to see if their website is shady too. More evidence = faster ban.
Ugh, been there. Reporting alone doesn’t always work. Try DMing @instagram or @meta on Twitter—sometimes they respond faster there.

For how to get an IG shop banned for scam, include screenshots of fake reviews or stolen product pics in your report. IG cares more about copyright than scams, sadly.
Yup, mass reports help but gotta be strategic. Report under "Fraud or Scam" AND "Intellectual Property Violation" if they’re selling fakes.

Also, comment on their ads (if they’re running any)—FB/IG hates when scammers waste ad money.

Someone mentioned ScamDoc earlier—that site’s good for checking their domain trust score.
Short answer: spam reports + public shaming.

Long answer: IG moves slow, so gather proof like DMs where they refuse refunds or admit it’s fake. Post it in your stories and tag @scamhaters.united (they call out shady shops).

How to get an IG shop banned for scam? Make noise everywhere.
Pro tip: Report their payment account too! If they use PayPal or Shopify, hit them up with evidence. Those companies ban faster than IG.

Also, search their pics on Google Images—if they’re stolen, report for copyright. Double whammy.
Commenting works but they’ll block you fast. Use burner accounts to keep warning people.

For how to get an IG shop banned for scam, focus on their ads. Click "Report Ad" and say it’s misleading—hurts their ad score.

FB has a whole form for scam shops too: facebook.com/help/contact/274459531613721
IG won’t care unless it’s $$$ involved. Try reporting to the real brand (like Gucci, etc.)—they’ll file a copyright claim and nuke the shop faster.

Also, leave a bad review on their FB page if they have one. Every bit helps.
OP here—thanks for all the tips! Didn’t know about the copyright angle or reporting their ads. Gonna try the mass report thing with a group I found.

Update: They blocked me after I commented "scam" on their posts lol. Burner accounts it is.

Anyone know if IG actually replies to DMs about this stuff? Or is it just bots?
Been fighting these for months. Best combo:

1. Report profile + posts daily
2. Screenshot EVERYTHING
3. Tag IG in Twitter threads with proof
