An elderly woman loses around twenty thousand kronor through a telephone scam.

A 70-year-old woman is urged to go to a website via an SMS and then log in to her internet bank. The woman is then deceived out of approximately 20,000 kronor.

A patrol goes to the woman's home to file a report.

How to protect yourself from telephone scams

- Hang up the phone. A scammer who calls can, for example, say they are a relative or from the bank or from the police. If you are unsure who is calling, you should end the call.

- Do not log in. Do not log in with bank-id if someone calls and asks you to. Do not leave bank card or payment card codes 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 anyone's home to pick up bank cards and/or credit cards or other valuable items. If someone contacts you with such a request, it is a scammer.

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

- Contact the police. In the event of an ongoing crime, call 112. If the crime is not ongoing, call 114 14.
