Phishing fraudsters contact you using emails, texts, and other forms of communication. They disguise themselves as someone you trust. Their goal is to trick you into giving them your personal information (e.g. usernames, passwords, credit card details, etc.) and steal from you.
The impact of phishing can be devastating. Victims can go on to suffer from distress and/or psychological trauma as a result of having their details stolen and used in fraudulent activity. Existing mental health conditions can also be exacerbated. So, even if you get your money back, the impact of phishing can be devastating.
At Keller Lenkner UK, our data breach lawyers help people to make successful phishing claims to compensate for their loss and distress. Where enough people come forward, we do this by launching a group action case.
