Is this a new scam or a real email from Instagram?

Hello,

I reported this morning some accounts of people trying to impersonate me via the Instagram site (not directly from the app).

They have a form you can fill to point them to the imposter account.

An hour ago I received this email. Do you think it’s real ? Doesn’t look official to me at all and I’m afraid that I might be victim of a scam if I answer …
The information that I blurred out however is exactly what I imput in the Instagram website.

Attached a picture of the email as well as the email address.

Let me know your thoughts.

Looks real. They didn’t ask you for anything outrageous so you should be fine!

Its probably real since you reported some people for impersonation

I also found this reply on the official facebook forum:

Thanks for your answer. I guess I’ll try answering and report back.
I hope it’s real, cause I’ve been waiting for years to speak with an employee of fb/ig. I’ll finally be able to explain to them (slash beg them) why I think they should verify my account.
