Instagram Handle Stolen Through Fake Trademark Claim – Need Expert Help ASAP Hi there, I’m seeking an experienced professional to help me recover an Instagram username that was wrongfully taken from me through a fraudulent trademark claim. Here’s what happened: I’ve owned this Instagram handle—just my first name—for years. Then in November 2022, I received a bizarre and threatening email from a stranger demanding I give up my account. He falsely claimed he held a trademark on my name (which is just a common first name, not a brand), and said that if I didn’t hand it over, he’d make sure I got a “lifetime ban” from Instagram. I ignored the email, knowing it was a scam. But between January 8, 2023 and March 1, 2023, my account was wrongfully taken. This person somehow filed a fraudulent trademark claim with Instagram and got them to hand over my username—likely due to miscommunication or lack of response from my end. The worst part? This person’s account is clearly fake—loaded with bot followers and zero real activity. I have proof of the threatening emails and am ready to provide anything you need to build a strong case. What I Need Help With: Recovering my stolen username Navigating the Meta/Facebook support channels Possibly drafting a legal or formal escalation to report fraud Understanding and potentially leveraging IP/trademark rules to expose this scam I’ve been working with Meta reps on my own for a while with no luck—and now I want to take immediate action with the help of a pro who knows how to get results. If you’ve helped recover accounts before, or if you’ve dealt with Meta escalations or social media impersonation issues, I’d love to work with you. Thanks so much.
