Police in the Bergslagen region of Sweden have issued warnings about a wave of fraud targeting elderly residents in Dalarna and surrounding areas. According to reports, criminals are posing as police officers or bank officials to gain entry to people's homes. The fraud typically begins with a phone call before perpetrators attempt to physically enter residences.
Many elderly residents risk losing their entire savings if they fall victim to these scams.
