Online scam patterns: identify the requested action
Compare phishing, payment redirection, identity impersonation and manipulated investment offers through the actions each attacker wants.
Begin with the attacker’s objective
An online fraud attempt may seek credentials, money, documents or continued conversation. The same story can move across several websites and messaging services.
Instead of judging whether the design looks professional, identify the exact action requested and the harm that could follow.
Look for inconsistencies across channels
An email might claim to come from a supplier while asking for a new bank account; a messaging profile might use a real company image but demand payment by an unusual method.
Cross-check a known contact, previous agreed arrangements and original account records before making an irreversible decision.
Keep observations separate from accusations
A domain name, screenshot or transfer receipt can help explain what happened, yet rarely proves who controlled the operation.
Vigifraude presents technical prevention and documentation rather than naming suspected offenders. Refer criminal matters to the appropriate authorities.
