Fraud description:
This fraud involves an advertisement where someone is offering you an apartment to rent.
β
The fraudster will ask you questions to find out which bank you use, and to approve something such as a credit control with mobile BankID.
β
This approval provides access to your bank account, because the fraudster has already pre-filled your personal number on the online banking page.
How to prevent this kind of fraud from happening:
Never approve a transaction with your Mobile Bank ID by request from a person who posted the apartment ad.
You have the possibility of downloading your own credit control if you use the service of the Swedish company UC-koncernen, and from most others.

βSafello will never ask you to provide a credit control!Always contact the company to verify the personal data of an individual who claims to be the owner / employee of a company, before approving any transaction.
