In a segment on This Morning today (May 12) entitled How To Protect Your Social Media Accounts, presenter Rochelle Humes, who was filling in for usual presenter Holly Willoughby, alongside Phillip Schofield, was horrified at a story described by a colleague in which her Instagram account was hacked and taken over by sinister scammers.
Staff member at This Morning, Fleur, described how she lost control of her social media account by unknowingly clicking on a scam link. She said: "As soon as I clicked on that link, (the scammers) took over my account completely."
She continued: "They changed everything, even the email address so I couldn't recover it, they just took over." Phil asked Fleur how convincing was the link she inadvertently clicked on?
