Scams can lead to theft at home

A scam call followed by a home visit is often referred to as a physical phone scam, physical vishing, and can lead to theft at home. It may happen that the scammer claims that someone needs to come to the victim's home to trick them out of valuable items or bank codes. Instead, the victim is robbed of money, valuables, and credit cards.        

So you can protect yourself

If you are unexpectedly contacted via phone call, SMS, or email, stop, do not act, hang up the phone. 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 contacts 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 valuables.

Do not be afraid to appear suspicious or unpleasant, dare to end the call.

If you are a victim of a scam, contact the police and if it is ongoing, call 112, otherwise call 114 14.
