Impersonation scams are increasingly common in the digital world, where criminals pose as banks, government agencies, technology companies, or trusted individuals. Using emails, messages, phone calls, and social media, they create convincing stories designed to obtain money, passwords, or personal information.
These online scams often exploit urgency and familiarity, making fraudulent requests appear legitimate. Recognizing common warning signs—such as unexpected payment demands, suspicious links, and pressure to act immediately—can help consumers protect their accounts, devices, and identities.
