Västerbotten, fake text messages said to come from “Trafikpolisen”
During the afternoon, a number of attempted frauds came to the police’s attention. A number of people in Police Region North, including in Västerbotten, have received fake text messages from “Trafikpolisen” and a message about traffic fines.
The police do not issue fines in this way. Do not click on any links and do not pay. These messages are fake and are sent by fraudsters.
People who clicked on the link and transferred money are urged to report this to the police, by calling 11414 or via polisen.se.
