Definition
假冒 (jiǎmào) means to impersonate someone or counterfeit goods—it covers both deceiving identity and faking products. 冒充 (màochōng) is narrower, only for impersonating a person/role; 伪造 (wěizào) is for forging documents/objects, not impersonation. 假装 (jiǎzhuāng) is simply pretending or feigning an action/state, not identity deception.
