First steps when fraud is suspected

If a payment is affected, contact the bank promptly. If a login is compromised, follow the provider’s official account recovery process and protect linked accounts.

Domain records, email headers and file metadata may provide context. They cannot by themselves prove that a named individual committed fraud.

Practical checks

  • Fraud prevention can support small businesses
  • Incident reporting should follow official routes
  • All technical checks carry limitations
  • A defined brief is needed for technical work

How to interpret technical findings

Alain Stevens has experience in digital information and research since 1999. This background guides methods but does not guarantee a case-specific outcome.

Work may involve a defined technical assessment or custom tool and is scoped before a quotation is agreed.

Does Vigifraude conduct private investigations?

No. Vigifraude offers technical advice and prevention material, not private investigations of named individuals.

What should I do about a suspicious transfer?

Contact your bank immediately through an official telephone number and retain the transaction details.

Can an AI detector prove a deepfake?

Not by itself. Detection results need independent confirmation and a review of the context.

Can tools identify a fraudster?

Technical clues do not automatically establish someone’s identity; no identification is guaranteed.
