On Saturday, March 15, hundreds of thousands of scam messages were sent to Finns. The Inner Finland Police Investigation Unit says in the press releasethat messages were sent in the morning hours.
Police call the wave of scam messages massive.
The messages were used to both try to fish for online banking codes and get recipients to make urgent charges. According to police, another scam has appeared as a taxpayer, while the other has been a classic “hey mother” scam, where the criminal has appeared as a child of the recipient of the message. In the latter case, attempts have been made to direct the discussion to WhatsApp.
The messages should not be reacted.
– Don’t give up any information, even if it seems meaningless at that moment. Criminals may use this information in the future, crime commissioner Janne Sievänen Underline in the bulletin.
If you suspect you have been scam, please contact your bank immediately to minimize financial losses. The police then recommend that you report a crime.
Such a view opens up from the link to the scam message that mimics the taxpayer’s message. This is a dangerous scam site that fishes bank codes. Screenshot
