Police in the West region of Sweden have registered a large number of reports of suspected fraud attempts on Thursday afternoon and evening. The attempts involve a similar method: recipients, most of whom are in the Gothenburg area, have received SMS messages about an alleged planned lock change on their front doors. According to the messages, this change is to be carried out at a specified time during the weekend.
Police urge anyone who has received this type of SMS and has not ordered a lock change to not respond and instead report it to the police via phone or online.
