The police's tips – how to protect yourself from scams

Put the phone down. A scammer who calls can, for example, say that they are a relative or from the bank. If you are unsure who is calling, you should end the call.

Do not log in. Never log in with bank-id if someone calls and asks you to. Do not leave bank card codes or codes from bank cards either.

Do not trust the person who is calling. The person who is calling can say that you are about to lose money, or that a relative has gotten into trouble. Do not trust the person who is calling even if they have information about you.

Never let an unknown person into your home. Close the door if you feel uneasy. The police never go to someone's home to pick up bank and/or credit cards or other valuable items. If someone contacts you with such a matter, it is a scammer.

Never leave your identification, bank card, or code to anyone else.

Contact the police during the ongoing crime and call 112. If the crime is not ongoing, you should call 114 14.
