Jämtland, fake text messages claiming to be from the “Traffic Police”
During the afternoon, a number of attempted frauds were brought to the police’s attention. A number of people in the Northern Police Region, including in Jämtland, have received fake text messages from the “Traffic Police” as well as a message about traffic fines.
The police do not issue fines in this way. Do not click on any links or make any payments. These messages are fake and are sent by fraudsters.
People who have clicked on the link and transferred money are urged to report this to the police, by calling 11414 or via polisen.se.
