Introduction
Cloning related fraud has grown exponentially during the global pandemic, with various mediums used to effect fraud (social media, telephone etc), replacing traditional time consuming ‘boiler room’ approach. Reported clone related scams equated to losses of more than £78 million between January-December 2020, with both individuals and organisations being cloned.
The FCA has outlined that it expects firms to be taking measures to prevent harm, which can be challenging in such a fast paced landscape and when faced with an unidentified protagonist. Combatting the mounting sophistication, audacity and fluidity of cloning attempts through ongoing vigilance and mitigation steps is critical, to ensure organisations and individuals may promptly identify incidents and take the necessary steps to protect themselves, their reputation, their brand and their current and prospective client bases; as well as taking any requisite damage limitation steps.
