So you can protect yourself
If you are unexpectedly contacted via phone call, SMS, or email, stop, do not 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 has contacted 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 valuable items.
Do not be afraid to appear suspicious or unpleasant, dare to end the conversation.
If you are a victim of fraud, contact the police and if it is ongoing, call 112, otherwise call 114 14.
