How the scam works

Minutes and a few dollars for them. A lost client for you.

1

A lookalike domain

They register a domain one letter off yours, or spoof your real domain if DMARC isn’t enforcing.

vs accounts@acmeplumbing.com
2

A fake invoice

Your customer gets a convincing email: “We’ve changed banks, please use our new account details.”

Invoice #10482 · Due today
New BSB/Account: 062-xxx 1043xxxx

The money is gone

They pay the scammer. Funds move fast and are often unrecoverable, and the customer blames you.

Your invoice: still unpaid

“The scammer will either hack into the email system of the business or impersonate the business’ email address by changing as little as one letter.” ACCC, media release, 4 April 2024

How ImposterWatch works

From exposed to monitored in three steps

1

Scan free

Enter your domain. In about 10 seconds you see your impersonation risk score and the biggest gaps.

2

Get your full report

Add your email to unlock every live lookalike, your raw SPF/DMARC/DKIM records and plain-English fixes.

3

Monitor and get alerts

Choose a plan. We re-check your DNS and watch for new lookalike domains, and alert you when something changes.

DMARC: MISSING

Without an enforcing DMARC policy, many inboxes will accept email that fakes your exact domain.

SPF: ~all

Lists which servers may send as you, and how strictly receivers should treat everything else.

DKIM: FOUND

Cryptographic signing on common selectors (google, selector1, selector2, default, k1).

LOOKALIKES: LIVE

About 50 typo, homoglyph and TLD-swap variants of your domain checked for live DNS.

Example labels for illustration only. Run a scan to see your real results.

The whole package

Email protection first. Your name protected everywhere.

Impersonators don’t stop at email. They hit your reviews, your social pages and even your credit file. Higher plans add the rest.

We don’t buy or write reviews, don’t promise removal of genuine reviews or accurate credit information, and can’t guarantee Meta or Google decisions. See the compliance notice below.

FAQ

Straight answers

What does the free scan check?

It reads your domain’s public DNS records: SPF, DMARC, DKIM (on common selectors) and MX. It also checks about 50 typo, homoglyph and TLD-swap variants of your domain to see which ones are live. It doesn’t touch your mailbox or need any access to your systems.

Why do you ask for my email?

The summary is free with no signup. Your email unlocks the full report (all live lookalikes, raw records and fix steps). We use it only for your report and ImposterWatch updates, and we don’t share it.

A lookalike domain showed up. Is it definitely a scammer?

Not necessarily. Some lookalikes are parked, owned by you, or belong to unrelated legitimate businesses. The report shows which variants are live so you can judge which ones could realistically fool your customers.

Can you guarantee we won’t be impersonated?

No, and nobody honestly can. Correct SPF, DKIM and an enforcing DMARC policy make exact-domain spoofing much harder, and monitoring tells you early when lookalikes appear. Staff and customer payment checks are still essential, which is why plans include a payment verification policy.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Reports are in plain English and Pro adds guided fix instructions for common providers like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. You or your IT provider make the DNS changes; we never ask for your passwords.

How does billing work?

Plans are monthly in US dollars and paid through Stripe’s secure checkout. We never see your full card number. There’s no lock-in contract, and you can cancel anytime.

I’m an individual, not a business. Is this for me?

Yes. ImposterWatch Personal (US$9/month) covers breach alerts for your personal emails, romance scam checks, guided hacked account recovery, fake profile reporting and scam guides.

Who runs ImposterWatch?

ImposterWatch is an online-only service operated by Cloud Investments FZE, United Arab Emirates, serving clients in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and the UAE. Credit information services for individuals are not available in the UAE.
