Talk to your loved ones about the risk of being deceived by a fraudster and how they can best avoid it. Explain how a fraudulent attempt can occur. Those who are most in need of help and support are people who have no one to ask or are not familiar with technology. You might want to demonstrate, for example, how the bank’s security device, e-identification (such as BankID), and Swish can be used safely.
You can make a difference
Knowledge is the key to avoiding fraud. You can play an important role by raising awareness and spreading information. Share what you know with your neighbours and family. Above all, try and help those who may not be reached by the same information as you.
Do you know somebody in need of help?
Help those affected to file a police report
Show them how to use apps or essential online services
Help prevent fraud by asking if anything has happened and by sharing information and advice
Keep up to date and informed on the latest scams and methods that might affect you and your family
Share important information
In order to combat fraud, it is crucial that important information is both available and easy to understand. The more people who have this information, the better. It is important to talk to each other and spread awareness.
Do you know of anyone who might need more information about scams and fraud? Download and share the informational leaflet and other materials that Sweden’s banks have developed.
