Impersonation
This is when someone pretends to be someone else online, in order to trick people.
If you or someone you are helping is being impersonated online:
Talk to an adult you trust, they can help you work out what to do next.
- Keep evidence (like a screenshot),
- Report it to the platform,
- Block the account.
If someone is impersonating you or someone else, you might want to contact the police for further advice as this could be illegal in Indonesia.
This is when someone assumes the identity of another person, to harass or defraud them. It can also include behaviours such as creating fake accounts, or hijacking accounts usually with the intent of targeting an individual.
