April 8, 13.32, Fraud, Örebro County

Do you get an SMS about a rental car that hasn't been returned?

Right now, the police are seeing an increased influx of cases of fraud that start with an SMS from a gas station with the message "that you haven't returned a rental car" and after that you're asked to call a number. Once you're in the conversation, the fraud attempt begins and you risk losing money or other assets.

If you haven't rented a car and get an SMS of a similar kind, you don't need to call but you can always tip off the police via the link below or report the fraud attempt to the police's contact center, which you can reach via 114 14.
