Often an older person is called by an unknown person who claims to be from an insurance company, the police, an alarm company, a bank or similar. The alternatives can be several - the basis is that the caller is trying to get personal information. It can be about trying to get the person called to log in to bank-ID or that someone is supposed to come home and pick up a bank card and code. 

It can also start with a text message where it is stated that the person who receives the text message is supposed to have taken a loan or other incorrect information that is supposed to make the person who receives the text message worried and therefore they are supposed to call a number that is in the text message.

The people who call sound convincing and pretend that it is about protecting the person being called in different ways.

Basic is: Never give out bank cards or codes to unknown people, log in to bank-ID either on request. Hang up the phone if you become the slightest suspicious.
