📱 Instagram CEO almost fell victim to a new Google fraud scheme

Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, revealed on Threads how he almost fell for a very convincing scam disguised as an official notice from Google.

🔎 What happened:

• The scammer called a phone number posing as a Google employee
• Then sent an email from the address forms-receipts-noreply@google.com.
• The email contained a link to sites.google.com/view/... where the user had to confirm their identity
• The user was first taken to the real Google login page and then to a fake support page

🧠 *"If I didn't know about this from a friend, I would almost believe it," Mosseri admitted.

⚠️ Why it's dangerous

✔ Emails go through anti-spam filters

✔ Uses real Google domains that are trusted.

✔ Visually, it's a full copy of a real Google support page

🛡️ What to do:

• Always check the URL in full, especially after logging into your account
• Do not click on links from emails and calls without verification
• Enable two-factor authentication.
• If in doubt, exit and go to Google manually

📬 NakMo reminds:

No matter how tech-savvy you are - attention is more important than confidence. Scammers are evolving, and even an Instagram CEO can be on the verge of making a mistake.
