Impersonation scams have surged, becoming a significant concern for consumers and businesses alike. In 2023, individuals reported a staggering $752 million in losses due to these scams, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Understanding how these scams work and the steps you can take to protect yourself is more crucial than ever.
Understanding Impersonation Scams:
Impersonation scams involve fraudsters posing as trusted entities—whether they are well-known businesses or government officials—to solicit money or personal information. The FTC identifies two primary types:
- Business Imposters: Scammers claim to represent reputable companies to gain your trust and steal sensitive information.
- Government Imposters: These fraudsters pose as government employees and often coerce victims into paying fake taxes or fees.
