“The Swedish tax agency warns of new bluffmejl – use new cool method”
“In the few days, many swedes found out what they get back on tax.nViljan to quickly get the money paid to be exploited, however, by the fraudsters, and the Swedish Tax agency is now warning of a variety of bluffmejl – and a completely new method.n– We have seen that they are trying to get across several different card details from the same person, ” says Andreas Olsson at the Swedish Tax agency security unit. “
“In the days the news came that all which had obtained a digital mailbox by the 28th of march can get their tax refunds already in the beginning of april. “
“at the same time began, just like in previous years, also different bluffmejl of the Tax name to flourish and several readers, including 23-year-old Nikola, have heard of to Aftonbladet.”
“I thought it looked fishy,” says Nikola and tells me that the email ended up in your inbox and not in spam which led to the fact that he happened to open it.”
“However, he clicked not on the link, which the message called him to.”
“– I dared not. Therefore, I do not know what would have happened if I had clicked.”
“Even the two other members of the family have received the same email but with different sums.”
“– But all other data are identical, ” says Nikola, who now want to warn others. “
“”Waiting for it to take off””
“At the Swedish Tax agency is well aware of the problems with fake e-mails in the event of declaration and tax refund and alert now, therefore, on its website.”
“According to Andreas Olsson, an adviser at the Swedish Tax agency, the authority has been prepared that something like this would happen this year.”
“– We have almost been waiting for this to take off, unfortunately, ” he says and adds that he has during the week received a call from a person who is affected.”
“– We encouraged the person to block their card and their account and report it to the police. “
“According to Andreas Olsson is bluffmejlen usually pretty classic, but can nonetheless see the very legitimate because the fraudsters usually the pictures taken from the Swedish Tax agency’s website.”
“And for every year that passes, the tricks of the trade increasingly brazen.”
“– In the years, we have seen that it is not enough to fill in your credit card information once, but instead it comes up an error message asking you to test with a different card. The decepticons are trying to come across as more credit card information from every single person, something we have not been before”, says Andreas Olsson. “
“Many people who are suffering are ashamed to tell that they have been duped. “
“– They find it embarrassing and would rather the loss than to have to admit. nto avoid getting scammed, calls Andreas Olsson to the attention. “
“– It comes to be very suspicious and questioning. Awareness has increased but e-mails are absolutely right in the time when many want their money quickly, and often are stressed out which makes you not really read the information in the e-mails. “
“– In case of the slightest doubts, you should first contact us at the Tax office or the police.”
“Also Jan Olsson on the police national bedrägericenter warns of fraudsters. “
” the Council is to never ever click on the attached links and attachments in e-mails or sms. Obey only the council so happen to be not bad. “
“Then the e-mails is usually different, it is difficult to say what happens if you click. “
“– most Likely they want to access your card details, which you should never give up.”
“Usually it is random who receives the messages,” says Jan Olsson. “
“– Fraudsters usually sends 10 000 – 100 000 e-mails at a time. This has been going on for several years and will continue as long as people do not listen to the advice. Because the e-mails are so numerous, it is sufficient that a high proportion go on it for the decepticons to want to continue. “
“If you have received an e-mail or text messages that appear to come from the Swedish Tax agency, but that you suspect is false, you must:”
“Our recommendation is that you delete the e-mail or message.”
“never give out information about bank account numbers or credit card numbers. The tax demand never account information in e-mails or sms, it takes place only via the Swedish Tax agency e-services that log on with the e-id card.”
