Instagram scam… deleted my page and msg me saying he can get it back for 1500. Then said if I go on a date with him he’d restore it. I agreed (obviously I’m not) and page back active in 5 mins. Next day demands nudes etc. I deny the date. He’s bothering me for 1500 now. I changed my @ and all info

Crazy part is after all of this I realized we had a mutual friend who I contacted and this guy knows the (scammer?) personally. Now he thinks this (scammer?) paid someone else 1500 to get my page back. And he’s out of pocket and upset about it. First off I thought this was a scam the whole time. Especially since it took 5 minutes to get page back. What clown would pay 1500 to get a girls page back (girl he doesn’t even know to talk to?) in exchange to go on a date ?? I thought, this guy paid nothing…He just wants to meet me or wants content and is making up this whole scheme. Our mutual friend is convinced otherwise.

Now I think, I falsely agreed to the date with the (scammer?) to see what would happen, page was activated immediately. So I scammed him now? I guess

This guy was in my dm the night before bothering me, I was mean to him about it , and I believe it triggered all of this starting with the account disable.

Anyway I assume if this guy can remove / restore my page with a click of a button or whatever, he will probably delete my page again now that i have pissed him off. So I pretended it was disabled again, I changed my bio, post count, profile pic, info and of course my @ , so my page looks like a whole new one.
