Executive impersonation
Fake executives, found and taken down.
Scammers pose as your CEO, board members and senior staff to pressure employees into sending payments or sensitive data, and to win the trust of customers and job seekers. Unphish finds the fake profiles, numbers, email domains and job ads using your people's names, and gets them removed.
How it works
Found wherever your people's names are used.
Executive impersonation works because people trust authority and act fast under pressure. We find the fakes across social media, messaging apps, email domains and job sites, prove they're not real and get them removed.
The results
Proven on real impersonation cases.
From executive, staff, recruitment and social media cases we closed for our clients in the first half of 2026.
What's included
Everything you need to protect your people's names.
FAQ
Executive impersonation questions, answered.
What is executive impersonation?
It's when scammers pose as senior leaders, board members, staff or other high-profile people to pressure employees into sending payments or sensitive information, or to deceive customers and job seekers. It works by exploiting trust and hierarchy rather than a technical weakness.
Where do you find executive impersonation?
On social media and LinkedIn, in WhatsApp and Telegram, on lookalike email domains, on job boards and websites, and in ads that use a leader's name or face.
How do you get fake executive profiles removed?
We report each fake under the platform's rules for impersonating a real person, with the evidence and proof of identity the platform needs, and escalate if action is slow. Every executive, staff and recruiter impersonation we pursued in the first half of 2026 was taken down.
Can you stop fake CEO emails?
We don't filter your inbox, but we find lookalike domains registered to send emails as your executives and get them suspended, often before they're used. Once the domain is down, every email sent from it stops working.
Do you cover fake recruiters and job ads?
Yes. We remove fake recruiters, HR accounts and job listings using your company's name. In the first half of 2026, 94% of the fake job ads we pursued were down the same day we reported them.
Can our staff report suspicious messages?
Yes. Anyone on your team can send us a suspicious profile, number or message at any time, and it goes through the same evidence, validation and takedown process.
Does Unphish help with UK scam and fraud rules?
Yes. Unphish helps UK organisations detect, disrupt and document impersonation, with a full audit trail of every detection and takedown. That record supports your work under the Online Safety Act and APP fraud reimbursement rules.
