The woman, who lives in Lunden in Gothenburg, had been exposed to fraud by a person who visited her at her home.

She explains that this type of crime happens all the time.
– In this type of fraud, the perpetrators have different modes or approaches. It is usually about being called by someone claiming to be from the bank and that something is going on in the person’s bank account. So an “employee” comes home with the older person and takes bank account numbers and other things, says Anna Göransson.

– It’s terrible and these people are very credible and convincing. It is difficult for an older person to avoid this.
It is not clear if the woman lost money.
Three Falls at Bankeryd
Several similar crimes occurred in Bankeryd on Wednesday, Jönköping police write on their website.
In two cases, older men have had their bank cards stolen by people who come to their homes and disappear with the bank cards.
In a third case, an elderly man did not allow the perpetrator to enter the home, which is why the incident is being investigated as an attempted fraud.
“The police now want to warn of this type of fraud. It is important never to give a stranger your bank card or the card code. It is also important that you never log into your bank card through b-id if a person unknown asks “, the police write in a call on their website.
