The examples taken from instagram are probably very region specific and further matching a profile.
However, I must agree that IG ads got worse and worse. So what is very common here:
1. Take a stock picture of Americans lining up for petrol at a petrol station because of an extreme situation/limitation.
2. Link to a website that looks like a normal webshop (the ad is done by an account that only exists on facebook and its page is empty, not promoting a shop)
3. The user gets redirected from the shop website (that actually exists and can be loaded manually from desktop) to a fake website, that looks like the website of the largest local news outlet.
4. There is an article about how to get rich with crypto and some celebs promote it. On the bottom of the page you can register with your phone number. You will get redirected to a trading platform that most likely rips you off.
Way to go instagram. Allowing scammers to their platform.
