Social media is a great place to instantly share what you're doing at any given time, but as this Eurofil [home insurance campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allianz-ireland) points out, this isn't always a good idea.

The 'Instatrap' campaign involved targeting users who had made use of hashtags like #sun #holiday or #island, since they were clearly outside of their houses and having way too much fun. Eurofil made alarming comments, such as things like: "Your holiday seems cool. As cool as staying at your place when you're not there." With a creepy comment like this, users were bound to click to find out more about the profile, which led [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-10) users to more information about how they could protect themselves from burglars.
