Fairly new to comping and instagram. Is it usual to get a message on insta telling you've won and then diverting you to a different page to register your details? Just wary of walking into a scam

Sounds like a common scam on instagram. You will be contacted by the page/company you entered with, they won't have any separate pages that they contact winners from. Scammers will try their best to impersonate the account by very small spelling variances in the name. Best way to check is to click on the account and see if you are following them already.yorksherpud said:Fairly new to comping and instagram.
