Help out Instagram with any verification process which might include sending a photo of yourself holding handwritten codes sent by them previously, to verify that it is you as a person and not a bot controlling your account.
Usually, bots or people emulate and copy an entire account of an Instagram influencer or a public page, especially if the influencer or the public page gives out financial advice. The bot interacts with you by sending you a request to follow you and messages you simultaneously. Reporting this can help take care of the issue and you can also inform Instagram if they have wrongfully suspended your original account instead of the fake one.
