A man has claimed that he was "stereotyped" by Instagram after a prompt was allegedly sent to someone who tried sending him a message. Daniel Adebowale took to Facebook to share a screenshot of a prompt Instagram sent to someone who sent him a direct message on the platform. The prompt from Instagram to the sender reads: "Daniel appears to be in Nigeria." It further states: "Don't share personal info with people that you dont know. Requests for photos or money from strangers may be signs of a scam". Calling out Instagram, Daniel Adebowale wrote: "Nah, this is so disheartening and sad "Why would instagram send this prompt to someone that messages me "Imagine a clients messages me and they see this, major turn off if they were skeptical initially "Major stereotype from instagram."
