Ask an Expert: How Scammers Impersonate Brands Across Platforms

Overview

In this on-demand Ask an Expert webinar, learn how scammers are industrializing brand impersonation with tactics that can target any organization—from Fortune 500 companies to emerging brands. Graphika Senior Investigator Jean le Roux shares recent findings on NFL counterfeit merchandise, Lululemon scams, and Poshmark phishing to expose the networks of domains, social engineering tactics, and multi-platform strategies behind these operations.

  • Common Attack Patterns: How to track domain ownership and infrastructure patterns across brand-impersonation scams.
  • Trust Exploitation Tactics: How scammers use AI-generated reviews, in-platform messaging, and brand mimicry to deceive users.
  • Multi-Channel Distribution: How scammers lure users through social media ads and in-app phishing on the shopping platforms themselves, like Poshmark.
  • Detection & Prevention: How Graphika monitors these evolving tactics so brands can strategize their defense.
