Aussies say their Instagram accounts are getting cloned by scammers who are sharing a fake link to Pocketstars, a subscription-based porn site similar to Only Fans.
It sounds like the intro to an episode of Black Mirror but in the past twelve months it’s been a reality for young Aussies. Someone clones their Instagram, blocks them so they can’t personally report it and then uses their face and handle to lure their followers into following them and clicking onto an external link claiming to be a subscription-based porn site. The issue is so pervasive that some businesses have warned their staff about the scam.
