Short answer. Instagram recovery scams show up in DMs and ask for your password, a six-digit code, or an ID photo. Meta does not recover accounts that way. A real service files through official channels and never asks for the password. UnbanPro is that kind of service.
Instagram recovery scams use the panic of a ban. The message sounds helpful. The ask is the password, a six-digit code, a backup code, or a photo of your ID. That is how a second person takes what the ban, or the hacker, already touched.
What a scam asks for
Walk away when you see any of these:
A DM that found you after you posted about the ban.
“Send the password so I can see the real reason.”
“Forward the code. It expires.”
“My friend inside Meta will restore it tonight.”
A link that is not the site printed on a company’s own page.
Pressure to pay before they have the username and the screenshot.
Treat the account as hacked. Secure the email, then follow Instagram hacked recover. Do not send a second code to the same person to “fix the mistake.”
We never ask for your password. If a message uses our name and asks for it, ignore it and write to help@unbanpro.com or use the button on this site. For a real disable, send the username and the screenshot. We file through Meta’s own official channels. It takes a few days. Start a case on the contact page. How it works is the three steps.
They contact you first, they ask for the password or a login code, or they want payment before they have seen the notice.
Is it a scam to pay any recovery service?
No. Paying a real service to file an official appeal is legit. Paying a stranger in your inbox is not. The longer answer is on the paying-for-recovery page.
Someone used UnbanPro's name and asked for my password.
That is not us. Use the WhatsApp button and help@unbanpro.com on this site. We never ask for the password.
What should I do if I already sent a code?
Change the email password if you still can, and move through Instagram's hacked-account steps on a device you trust.
