Help - Business Instagram account being targeted by follower bots
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
I have a business Instagram account that recently has been targeted by follow bots.
I am 99% sure that a competitor has arranged it as only moments before it started, I contacted them asking them to remove artwork from their page as it was mine.
At its peak, the page was getting 100 follows a minute from obvious fake accounts and in the end I had to turn the account to personal and private.
Instagram was quick to suspend the account and has since removed the c.600 followers I couldn't manually remove but now again today, 24 hours after going back to a professional account, the same thing is happening and I have had to go personal and private again.
This has implications with advertising and also I lose insight metrics. It also concerns me that Instagram might take action against the account.
Is there anything I can do or any point of contact I can make to stop this? Instagram seem quick to punish the victim but seemingly no interest in the person doing it.
Thanks.
