Summer has hit in Ottawa and it is gorgeous. Well way to hot to continue my gardening or pool repairs but hot and humid as heck. FYI I love hot and humid so I am happy. Today I just wanted to enjoy this Shein Tee Dress but instead I am fussing over Instagram theft.
I have been stolen folks, or rather my pictures and captions have been used by a crazy person, not once but twice in the last two days.
Instagram Hi-Jack
I have been hi-jacked and it is a crazy feeling not sure if I should feel flattered or threatened here. Yesterday I received a message my images were being used on Twitter. Then I dug about and found the account on Instagram. This crazy person was using my pictures and someone elses on their account. I reported them and so did my family and it appears they have disappeared. BUT chapter two begins
Chapter two, my Step-sons contacted me this morning and they had been tagged on a new account. This person moon.light1633 not only stole my pictures but they stole my captions tags and hashtags included. Way to give yourself up good, tag my kids. I mean they actually used the same exact caption on all the pictures. My caption about going to th @orleansfest hs ben used on all the posts even when not relevant. Search #myottawa and you will see me pop up except not me WTH.
Have you ever been impersonated? I love the fact Instagram deals with it asap. or at least for me they did. As soon as I and others reported it wasnt me the account was taken down. Twitter wanted me to upload ID , prove I am the person in the pictures first and then they will address the issue. Forgive me but I am not uploading my ID for anyone, so I will ignore those pics.
Todays Shein Tee Dress
Last week I shared the most amazing Rainbow Cardigan that i found on Shein. Well I also found the cutest tee dress. It’s a cream, pink and grey number. How fun is this? One small tip, don’t worry that it is sized small, it is not. I think I should have gone down one size but it is still comfy. I paired it with some fun converse and it was perfect for my Basement Office.

This dress is so adorable, Linda, and so you! And what a mess with IG. I had that happen once where someone created an account using my picture as their profile. They had no other posts and had the nerve to direct message me with some kind of nonsense. I responded in a very nasty way and the account disappeared so I never really did anything else about it. It makes me wonder if there are more accounts out there stealing my stuff that just never came on my radar. I am glad that it is being handled efficiently by IG for you. Thanks for linking up.

search a unique hashtag you use, that sometimes helps. In my case they stupidly tagged my boys good lord people are not always bright
