Sweden is currently experiencing a significant increase in SMS scams, with fraudsters targeting citizens through deceptive messages.

These scams often impersonate legitimate organizations, such as EU Inkasso and Blackstone Group, to extract personal information.

Victims receive messages claiming unpaid debts or job offers, urging them to provide sensitive details like bank information.

Authorities, including the police and Skatteverket, warn against sharing personal data and advise forwarding suspicious messages to 7726, a global number for reporting spam.

The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any fraudulent attempts to the police.
