I decided to make an Instagram account for the first time and I was shocked to find out that since 2014 somebody had made an Instagram account with my email address and I don't know how it happened. The account already have some posts and its in Arabic. There is no pictures of the person who did it but I see pictures of malls, a church and theme park. The account have followers and it already have activities.
I decided to change my email password eventhough it is secure.
My original password is Hummingbird1259758hamonoverdrive, that is a hard password to hack but someone still managed to make an instagram account with my email.

The account seemed to be following some radical religious group pages.

Just request to change password fro this account and you can enter it. Then maybe you will be able to delete it.

I deleted the account and I decided to make a new one. It seemed like back in 2014 you can make instagram account without the need of verifying it with an email. So you can make an account even with a fake email.

They registered using my email without logging in.

You should check if your email had been used to register in other social networks you never used.

I had and I am waiting for the reply. No one knows that email address of mine but me. So it is shocking to see an instagram account already existing with that email.

There are always scammers out there stuffing our e-mails with invitations to earn cash or telling us that we just won a prize. I get enough e-mails without having to sort through that stuff. I really hate spam

I got an email from someone claiming to be Queen Elizabeth II, She wanted me to give her credit card number so she can give me inheritance.
