Police in Gothenburg have issued a warning about suspected fraud attempts via SMS. The messages claim a lock change will occur over the weekend, even though the recipient never ordered it, according to reports from Sveriges Radio P4 Gothenburg.
The senders are likely trying to provoke reactions by appearing authoritative. Police stress not to reply to the texts, even if they feel threatening or unsettling.
Instead, recipients should save the messages as evidence and file a police report. The alert comes from Gothenburg police to protect residents from these scams.
