The scammers put the right challenger in the situation.
Scammers do something that real challengers never do.
Finland’s only challenger Mikkonen was in a nasty situation.
Challenge Tapio Mikkonen Works in Northern Savonia District Court. In his name, scam messages have been sent on Tuesday to fish for Finnish bank IDs.
The signature of the scam messages reads “Challenge Mikkonen”. There are no other Mikkos working as a district court challenge in Finland.
Challenge manager Timo Riekkinen The Northern Savonia District Court reports that a few queries have come on Tuesday’s scam messages. Riekkinen says that he has also transmitted information about the scam to Mikkonen, who was not present in the office on Tuesday.
The activities of the cheaters are angry and annoyed. She is worried that someone thinks Tapio Mikkonen has actually sent messages.
There has also been a concern among challengers that scammers make it difficult for all people in the industry, ”says Riekkinen, who has discussed their colleagues.
– You can see if this makes our work complicate when we are aiming for people over the phone and text, Riekkinen describes.
– Do people start to doubt our contacts, even though we are a matter of fact.

One thing the real challengers never do: they will never ask for money or bank IDs in contact.
-After all, challengers do not deal with money that way, says Riekkinen.
– We have no account number or reference number information anywhere. When the challenges are communicated, they have no such information at all.
– The payments are not handled through us in any way. We always encourage you to contact the carriers and creditors.
Riekkinen considers it possible that the scammers have performed as a challenge, as there is a certain kind of authority.
– I guess that’s the factor behind it, says Riekkinen.
– Many may be snapped to think that there is a real person behind it.
What a challenge?
For example, district court challengers will provide challenges, as well as invitations and service related to legal sessions, if it is likely that service will not be possible by mail.
Challexes can also deliver other service at the request of individuals or companies. They may be related, for example, to wills, housing warnings, or payment requests.
Many times the first contact is made over the phone, says Timo Riekkinen, the supervisor of the challenge.
