Website trust report
instagram.com
62/ 100
Overview
The website exhibits several positive indicators, including essential policies, a professional site structure, and robust security measures like a valid HTTPS certificate and email anti-spoofing. However, there are inconsistencies in seller names and company identity across different pages, and some independent feedback includes negative experiences.
What should I do?
While the site generally appears trustworthy, proceed with caution due to inconsistencies in company identification. Review independent feedback before making significant commitments. Ensure you understand the terms of service and privacy policies, and be aware that contact details are not readily available on the site.
The evidence is incomplete. Some check areas or independent confirmation of the seller’s identity are missing. Even a high score does not guarantee legitimacy or delivery. Verify unanswered questions before paying.

Seller names differ across fetched pages: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fterms&is_from_rle); Meta Platforms, Inc. (https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/?entry_point=ig_help_center_data_policy_redirect); Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/).
