Identifying Impersonation
Impersonation occurs when someone pretends to be you or another person, often to deceive or cause harm. Identifying impersonation involves recognizing when someone is using your name, likeness, or other personal identifiers without permission. Common signs of impersonation include:
- Fake Profiles: Accounts using your name, photos, or other personal information.
- False Communications: Messages or posts falsely attributed to you.
- Imposter Websites: Sites designed to look like they are run by you.
