July 28 10:16, Scam, Norrköping

A safer society is not built just when crimes are cleared up. It is built every time someone chooses to care, react or help.
On Sunday, a woman in Skärblacka was called by a person who claimed that the woman had been cheated out of money that had disappeared from her account. The woman was promised help BUT in order for this to happen, the caller needed access to the woman's card and also the code. 

The card was also collected later and quickly after that, money was withdrawn from the account by the scammers.

In conversations with family members, she realized that she was a victim of a scam.

These scammers are skilled in their conversations, which are often long. The purpose is to win trust and it succeeded in this case, which the police are investigating as a case of elder abuse.

This type of crime occurs in a little different so-called modus operandi. Right now, the trend is to trick you into thinking that you are the one who is being victimized. It is indeed ironic. The scammer claims to be calling from a bank, an electronics retailer, a debt collection agency or even from the police. The victim is asked to log in with bankid or to hand over their bank card with code.

This type of crime can be stopped by us together. In conversations within the family or other groups, it is worth talking about these things. It is easy to think that scams only affect others. It is harder to think that others might actually be you! 
The person who notices the unusual can sometimes be the one who makes the biggest difference. Call the police when it feels unusual.
