Document the impersonation before reporting

    Every organisation you'll deal with — police, banks, bureaus, government — will ask for the same details. Capturing them once, properly, saves hours of repeated calls.

    What to put in your evidence pack

      • Your full legal name, dates of birth, and any addresses used in the fraud
      • Each fraudulent account: provider, account number, date opened, amount
      • Copies of any letters, emails, SMS or calls relating to the fraud
      • Copies of your ID — passport, driver's licence — for verification

    Keep it organised

    A simple folder (digital or paper) with a one-page summary at the front speeds every later call. Reference numbers go on the summary so you don't re-explain everything each time.
