Possible Scams on Instagram

Be on alert for these possible scam accounts that have been popping up on Instagram as "sponsors". It's very obvious these sites don't even bother changing up the style of their links, including the font of their advertisements.

Below are some examples I saw these past couple of days:

Ads on Instagram are almost always dropshippers or Aliexpress quality.

These all seem to be desktop or 1:200 models and they're being announced as "$10.99 today only"... well, it's quite obvious it's a trap!

Yeah I saw one of those the other day and it seemed fishy to me. Watching Computer Clan’s scambusting videos has really helped me ID these suckers out of the crowd.
