Impersonation fraud is a growing threat where scammers pose as authority figures, like bank officials or tech support, creating urgency to steal personal information and money. They manipulate victims using trust and fear, often employing spoofing tactics for authenticity. To protect yourself, hang up immediately on suspicious calls, avoid sharing personal details, verify with institutions directly using official numbers, and use call-blocking features. Staying alert and skeptical is crucial for prevention.
