Knowledge & Guidance
Practical, plain-language overviews to help you understand digital incidents, preserve evidence, and know what to expect from an investigation.
Online fraud and social engineering rely on manipulating trust rather than breaking technical controls. Common patterns include romance scams, investment fraud, impersonation, phishing, and other schemes designed to extract money, credentials, or cooperation.
These incidents often unfold over weeks or months, with perpetrators building rapport before introducing a financial element. Recognising the pattern early is one of the most important factors in preserving evidence.
GC Intel helps clients understand how a scheme operated, identify the digital footprint left behind, and organise the evidence for review by the institutions and professionals who may need to act.
These overviews are general guidance and do not constitute legal advice. For advice on a specific situation, consult a qualified professional.
