 What's good y'all it's your boy Ross back again with another video. So you see the title of this video, man This was the first time I've ever been hacked in any form of fashion, man yesterday I got hacked on Instagram and I'm not gonna lie to you It was a horrible experience man I I never thought it would happen to me especially in that fashion, but hey it did So I kind of want to break down what happened and how it happened maybe early in the afternoon I received a DM from one of my subscribers or what not and this person was basically Trying to help me get verified on Instagram and the only reason why I Kind of responded to this person is because one me and this person have had a few conversations in the DMs Before actually talking about it I actually went on live a few months back trying to you know figure out how to get verified if anyone knew or what not and he had Sent me like an article or Instagram article on some of the qualifications you need to get verified on Instagram So we had that conversation a few months back. So he hit me up recently in the DMs basically saying hey My brother that I've known for a while when I'm well I get yeah, he said his brother, but I I assume like as like a friend brother Like you call someone like a brother of yours, but they're more like a friend, you know, so he was basically like my brother Just got on that Instagram or what not he can help you out with that just you know DM him and You know see what he's talking about my DM the guy I'm thinking it's kind of like how you see people be like if you send me two hundred three hundred dollars or whatever I can get your Instagram Instagram account verified, you know kind of those type of scam So I'm thinking that's what it was but the dude was talking to me You know saying he was real slick with it in the DMs He was basically like looking to have publications of you and whoever you're trying to get verified You know saying we can do it, you know, I can do it for you for free All I just need is if you guys give me a shout out or whatever, you know I'm saying you can send me some clients, you know saying then we can kind of go from there And we'll just do it like that. I was all right cool I maybe you know, I can look into it or whatever like sure why not you feel me because I was like I'm not paying to get verified. So Dude was like alright, you know send me the article that you guys, you know Some type of press article that you guys had so I sent that and then he said, you know He's like all I need is your email address So I get is it give I send the article that me and the homies got published in in Houston Chronicle and then I send my email address and then He says there should it should be a cold like a link. We're not a link But an actual code that's gonna come to your email address. Just tell me what that code is So a code comes to my email address. I tell him what it is He's eyes is gonna sign you out or what not and After that then, you know saying you should you should be able to sign back in in a few minutes or whatever And I knew at that point. I'm like, I don't know something's iffy about that But I was I you know See what happened. So when I got signed out Shout out to Trio Billy Brandon. He hits me up. He texts me first and then he calls me Basically, it was a message from me Asking if you know saying he could if Brandon could send me some money or what not to the paypal or whatever Like I was in like some dire need of some money or whatever So I knew right away something wasn't right because he hit me up about it and I'm not in my account at this point I'm signed out. So I'm like, yeah, I probably just got hacked at this point. I'm thinking yeah, I definitely just got hacked or whatever so Brandon's like, yo, did you send this message to me? I was like, no, I didn't send a message to you I don't know what's going on. So I got off the phone with him I hit old dude up because I ended up getting the guy's number He gave me his number so we can discuss things or whatever and you know, I'm trying to make sure this stuff is legit So I got his number or whatever and I hit the dude up I brought what the fuck's going on, you know saying, you know, that's you and my account messaging You know saying somebody else he didn't know that you know saying the people that he was messaging would actually hit me up first He you know saying message to do a message Brandon Brandon hits me up Then I sit up there questioning him. He's like, I don't know what's going on. I'm confused. So At this point, I figured, you know, yeah, I'm a hack. I'm like, bro, you took my shit Yo, give me my account back or whatever. He's like, look, bro, I'm not gonna lie to you You know saying I Will give you a count back, you know saying but the guy that set sent me to hack you or what not He's not responding back to my phone calls or whatever So basically he made the same as the subscriber that originally hit me up Sent him to hack me or whatnot to get my information or whatever So at that point I was I was believing him at first Damn that's kind of fucked up. Like why would a subscriber do that? Like I was upset. He's like, yeah The dude said he would pay me 300 for it or whatever, but he's not sending me The money or whatnot. So I'm pretty much screwed too, but I'm gonna get him for show or whatever I was like, look, bro, I'll pay you the money and that was my biggest mistake right there But I'll pay you the money. I just trying to get my shit back and I'll handle it up on him Because I was gonna expose that dude. I'm like, bro You know, you know saying I thought you was don't you know, somebody that could rock with me You know on the subscriber side of things like you support all the stuff that I do and then you do this I'm like, damn, that's kind of scummy or whatever. So at this point, it's literally and I Do think this is a blessing from above because it's literally him trying to get money from Me and also he's messaging like people that I've recently dm from money as well And obviously I'm not in my account. So I don't know you feel me. So at this point I'm like, yo, you know saying look, I can send you the money yada yada yada or whatever tried Venmo and I was able to send Like the 300 but the problem was they couldn't get the money out So they ended up giving me the Venmo account. I'm on the phone with this person. They ended up giving me the Venmo account I still couldn't transfer the money. Something was fishy going on or whatever. Then we tried PayPal So I ended up sending some more money or whatnot. I ended up sending some more money Just to just to get Get my account back because I was like, well, I have the Venmo account So I can easily just figure out how to get the money out of there The bank my bank knew something wasn't right about this So when I sent the money to the PayPal, it went through but here's the thing They couldn't get the money out it for whatever reason they were having a hard time getting the actual money So at this point, I'm like, yo, I did my part bro Just give me the code so I can get back into my account because if you guys don't know Instagram gives you an opportunity to have like a two-way authorization set up where it'll send The email that you have associated with your Instagram account It'll send you a link if you forget forget your password. But once you get that link It'll also send you a code to your personal phone number. So that way you can get back into your account Here's the problem He changed the the number. That's what he did. He changed the phone number So any time the codes was being sent it was being sent to his number not mine So that's why I was still unable to get inside my own account So I just want like y'all I sent the money bro. Just send me send me the the code bro and Every time he's giving me a run around and at this point I figured out like bro He's not gonna send me this code even if I give him the money even if he's able to get the money out He's not gonna send me the code like this is really just a waste of my time So I hit up my manager and you probably wondering why you didn't hit up your manager first Well, I did but he was pretty much like there's not really gonna be much I can do everything's kind of closed on the Sunday So we'll try to figure out something on Monday morning or you know Monday during the day and I was like I so I end up hitting them back again pretty much telling them. Yeah, I don't think I'm be able to get it back If you have any other solutions, you know, that'd be real helpful So he was able to send me like this article from Instagram So I'm checking all the articles to see how to recover my account. I've tried everything except this one specific thing and shout out to Our manager man. He's real dope. He definitely came in a clutch on this one pun intended so apparently Facebook has this thing where You literally those single email and they'll send you a random number you have to write that number on a piece of paper and take a picture With that number on the piece of paper and they sent it to me twice to you know, double-check to make sure everything checks out and They gave me like a unique eight-digit number that I was able to put in that he didn't have access to now I was able to get in my account switch all the information Kick him out of my account and that's how I was able to get in and I thought that was pretty unique Because it's kind of hard to fake your face and the random number on the piece of paper So I thought that was for dope. So shout out to Facebook being able to help me out get that situated So once I was able to get back into my account or whatever. I saw all the messages of people He was hitting up He hit up one of my homies is sir dance a lot y'all know who he is He hit him up and shout out to sir dance a lot man. He sent me some money He sent me some money on Venmo, but like I was saying to y'all I had to Venmo account because they couldn't get the money out of the Venmo And then he also sent some money to the cash app He submit total $200 Because basically you message them as if I needed some help or something and you know Steve being a stand-up guy sir dancing. I'll be the same a guy. He was just helping me out or whatever so The problem was he wasn't able to get the money from Venmo, but they did get the money from cash out But once I let them know he was able to dispute that and he was able to get his money back from cash out So that's a win one of somebody else that I know out, you know, like when I be out and about I don't know him like I don't have his number, but he supports the channel supports what I do He sent me 150 told him about it. He was able to hit up cash out. They was able to refund the money So that's another W there and then other people were hitting me up before they sent the money Like yo, what was up with that and have to let them know I got a hack So no one else that I know of so far actually sent him money and the people that did send him money They were able to get their money back. So shot out to everyone that you know that was trying to send me money I really do appreciate that even though it wasn't me and I'll take those Small little victories as a a huge dub because they didn't get anyone else from my account They weren't able to scam anybody else out of some money. So I feel really good about that I had to ultimately call my bank And try to dispute those charges because it was pretty much I pretty much I guess you could say my account was held for ransom Like that's pretty much what it was like if you guys know like not too long ago one of the major All pipelines was held for ransom by a group of like Russian hackers They hacked the pipeline and they basically wanted like two million or something like that It's probably a little bit more in Bitcoin or whatnot and the oil company paid it You know saying they had to pay it because pretty much all these other cities on the East Coast Didn't really have gasoline or whatnot. So that's pretty much what it was they held my account for ransom and Even though they gave it back to you know, they gave control back to the oil company This guy was not gonna give my password back or whatnot And I knew after a while he was just giving me in a run around and the dude at the audacity to text me because I Had to do this number because I'm contacting him. I'm on the phone with the guy or whatever Yeah, the audacity to text me. You're welcome as if he helped me No, I had to help myself He's a piece of shit. You're definitely a piece of shit and I know who you are not personally, but I have your information I'm sure he'll probably be able to change his phone number And he doesn't really care about the Instagram account because he can just make a new one But he's still a piece of hot garbage and karma will get you bro one day You're scamming people out of their monies You're taking their accounts like that's not what's up and one of the biggest things that I realized After I was able to get my account is the person that the subscriber that hit me up He got hacked so he was messaging me under the disguise as one of the subscribers I'm thinking it's like Originally my you know someone that you know one of the subscribers is trying to help me out or whatever and It was really the hacker just using his account and that's what he does He takes people's accounts use them and then hits up like goes through their DMs and messages people that he sees that Recently been messaged by you to try to get them some money off of them So I will say this to anybody out there be careful Even if you know it's like a friend of yours Messaging you on Instagram on some hey keys. Can you help me out and it's like It's one of those type of things was like well why they didn't call, you know saying Give them a call if they're like one of your good friends give them a call ask them Hey, did you send this message just so you can double confirm or whatnot cuz people are Really getting creative with the hacks. I didn't even have to give this guy my password I didn't have to click on a link or nothing. He literally was able to get my account just off my email So I'm in the process of getting everything situated with my bank. Hopefully I'm able to get those funds back If not, that's just gonna be a loss that I take but I am changing my card number and all that other stuff But I'm just happy that the people that he did hit up was able to get their money back in or they didn't give out Any money so that's what I mostly cared about more than anything else and I'm gonna have my account back So that's the main reason why I haven't checked out nxt in your house I haven't checked it out yet because once this all got situated. I was tired. I was frustrated and irritated I wasn't in the mood to watch wrestling or anything like that But I will be checking out at least the fatal five-way match So please don't spoil it for me in the comment section down below I'm gonna check that out cuz I want to see what happened in that match. So yeah, that's what's been going on man But yeah, so your boy finally got hacked not that it was on my bucket list but it's one of those things where it's like it is unfortunate, but I'm glad I was able to recover my account in a few hours and Hopefully that guy that did hack me Karma gets this individual and he ultimately has to pay for the people he's scammed and taking taking their money from you know I'm saying like people like that you may think you're gonna always get away, but trust me karma is real and it will definitely come back and bite you and It may be worse than just you know, you know jail time It may be something serious like you may end up losing all your money, you know I'm saying so I'm gonna leave it in God's hands. I'm not even gonna stress over it, but that's what happened man So comment down below.
