The losses come despite the fact that a 'Government and Business Impersonation Rule' came into effect last April to help tackle the problem. The rule makes it illegal to "materially and falsely pose" as a government or business entity or officer. Firms or people who do face penalties of up to $53,088 and being made to refund victims.
