Identity theft frauds are numerous and increasingly sophisticated, both in the private and professional spheres. These fraud attempts can take several forms, including:
- Employee impersonation: fraudsters pose as a company employee by phone call or email;
- Use of a fake email address: fraudsters create fake email addresses that look almost identical to legitimate ones;
- Use of company documents to appear credible and well-informed: may use fake BNP Paribas Real Estate branding in an attempt to pass off as authentic.
Through these methods fraudsters approach their victims by pretending to be trustworthy and well-informed, thus leading them to share personal or sensitive data, or even to engage in financial transactions with them.
