Do you suspect that someone you know has fallen victim to fraud?

Sometimes a fraud victim won’t even realise that they fell for a scam. If you suspect that someone close to you has fallen victim to fraud, it might be a good idea to talk to them about it, because as their close relative or friend you could help them spot a scam and get help. You can find information about different types of scams on our website and elsewhere on the internet. If you feel uncertain, you can call us together and ask for advice.

Protect yourself from identity theft

In the Tax Administration’s positive credit register you can set a free ban to prevent lenders from granting you credit. You can set the ban for yourself until further notice or for a fixed period. You should set the ban if you think your personal data has been compromised. The ban can help you to protect yourself if someone tries to apply for a loan using your personal data.
