Discover how impersonation scams operate and how you can keep your funds safe.

An impersonation scam is when someone pretends to be a trusted source to persuade you into sharing money or sensitive information. They may impersonate a government body, bank, or delivery company. There have even been cases where scammers have pretended to be close friends or family members.

How they start

Usually, you’ll be contacted by someone who appears to be from a trusted organization or person, such as a bank, police officer, or even a close friend.

How they contact you

These scams often begin with a phone call, text, message, or email. They may also communicate through social media by sending messages or creating posts.

How they get your funds

Scammers often create urgency, offer fake investments, or claim your account is at risk. They may ask you to send cryptocurrency to a ‘safe’ wallet or pay to secure a fabricated transaction.

How to identify an impersonation scam

Asking for money or security information

Trusted organisations like the police or your bank will never ask you to transfer money or share sensitive information. If a message feels unusual or unexpected, verify it with the organisation first.

Your money back guarantee

Retrieving your losses can be a lengthy process, and it all starts with our investigation. Therefore, we must have your trust every step of the way. So, if for any reason you are doubtful, you can ask for a full refund within 14 business days.*

Pressure tactics

Scammers will often try to pressure you to act immediately. Messages may include a ‘hook’ to get your attention. For example, they may say your money is at risk, and you need to act quickly to save it.

Spelling mistakes

Legitimate organisations don’t usually have poor grammar and spelling mistakes in their comms. Also, be wary of communications that generally look unusual and have suspicious links.

More about Payback and our Fraud Investigation Services

About Payback

PayBack has only one mission: to protect people from frauds and scams online worldwide, whatever it takes. We help victims of online fraud retrieve what is rightfully theirs using our Investigation Reports and tailored Action plans. Although several types of scams have stood the test of time and are constantly growing in number of victims, new scams constantly pop up. Our job is to stay updated on both old and new scams to help the victims and inform our clients on how to stay safe in the future. We aim to be the number one company in the world to whom people can turn when they try to protect themselves from scams or when they need the tools to fight back after being a victim.

Very often, recovering losses from a scam doesn’t require a lawyer, court, or the legal system in general. Processes such as ADR allow one to retrieve money lost to a scam without a lengthy legal procedure. Yet to do that, one needs to be familiar with the ADR process, with the intricacies of the bodies involved, and armed with the needed evidence. This is where our Investigation Reports come in handy. The investigation report not only finds and gathers all the needed evidence in one place, but it also provides a suggested Action Plan that guides our clients through the retrieval processes (such as ADR) and shows them step-by-step how to navigate them and what exactly they should do to retrieve their losses.

Unfortunately, no. For example, some scams involve people taking cash from their victims. Such cases rarely have a successful outcome, and we make sure people who come to us with such cases know it. It is very important to us to be transparent with our clients, and we make sure to give them an honest and straightforward assessment of their case and what we believe they can expect in terms of retrieval of losses. So, if we believe you can do nothing to retrieve your money, we will tell you so immediately.

This is exactly why our “Free consultation call” practice is in place. It gives you a chance to tell us what happened and get our initial thoughts free of charge. Once we present our opinion and similar cases we’ve dealt with before, you can make a more educated decision about whether our services are for you or not. So, before making a decision, secure a free consultation, and let’s move on from there.
