I already shared my personal information with the scammers — what should I do now?
If you believe you’ve provided sensitive information (such as your ID, address, or banking details) to the impersonators, we recommend taking immediate action:
-
Report the incident to your local law enforcement or cybercrime unit.
-
Monitor your credit reports and financial accounts for any suspicious activity.
-
Notify your bank if you shared payment information or made a transaction.
-
Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with a major credit bureau (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax, etc.).
