Phone fraud can lead to theft at home, physical vishing
Phone fraud can also lead to theft at home, known as physical vishing. It can happen that the scammer claims that someone needs to come to your home to secure your valuables or codes. Instead, you will be robbed of money, valuables, and credit cards.
So you can protect yourself
If you are unexpectedly contacted by phone, SMS, or email, stop, don't act, hang up. Then ask someone you trust - a neighbor, a friend, a family member for advice.
Do not identify yourself with bank-ID or give out your codes when someone else contacts you.
Do not let an unknown person into your home. Serious companies, organizations, and authorities will never come to your home to collect your cash, jewelry, or other valuables.
Don't be afraid to appear suspicious or rude, dare to end the call.
If you are a victim of fraud, contact the police and if it is ongoing, call 112, otherwise call 114 14.
