The hidden world behind the telefonbedrägerierna

"The hidden world behind the telefonbedrägerierna"

"Telefonbedrägerier has become a way of grossly criminal to earn themselves a hack."

"Behind each of the fraudsters are many helpers and the approach to access the victims' bank accounts is far from as complicated as you might think."

" No, it is not. What you need is a smartphone, and then be cheeky and be able to persuade people so they think that the caller is from a bank or security department, says chief prosecutor Pär Andersson, who in recent times had a number of cases concerning the right telefonbedrägerier, TT."

"But it rarely stay at the only cases of fraud."

"– That I have seen is that there are people who are involved with another crime as well. Violence and drugs."

"One of the ways to earn money"

"It started off as an interception, but led the police straight into the arms of a due to unresolved issues murder. During the last summer job, the police intercepted some of the men who was suspected of fraud against the elderly. But nothing in the intercepted calls made to the police could understand that a serious act of violence was going on in Malmö."

"A 24-year-old man was shot dead and according to police was the perpetrators' intention also to kill a 28-year-old man, but he was alive. The reason? The ammunition had been exhausted."

"Four suspected perpetrators were arrested and they are now defendants," says chief prosecutor Pär Andersson to the TT which has the case on his table. The two of them prosecuted also for the two cases of gross fraud against the elderly and one of them also roughly penningtvättsbrott."

"It is clear that telefonbedrägerier is just one part of a larger crime."

"– It is enough so that you earn money on dope or economic crime, this part can withstand the probably best of the, says Pär Andersson."

"the Fraud starts, not infrequently with the victim puts out a säljannons on the internet. The fraudsters contact and show interest to buy the gadget and will thereby over an account number. But instead of putting the money call then up and say you are from the bank and to warn."

"this fooled many older people to give away bankid or access codes for bank token. Succeed the decepticons, the account can quickly be emptied."

"the Money is passed on to the goalkeepers who stand ready to help – despite the risk of discovery. But the fraudsters will often withdraw."

"– It is so hard to find just the decepticons, they have ground moves to get away, " says Pär Andersson."

"Instead, it is the goalie that performs the dirty work – that is to say, picking out money from the atm or help to wash the money. Around every scammer, there are often plenty of people who for different reasons will help to, " says Pär Andersson."

" I had an errand in the summer, with guys who were 19 and 20 years, who cheated two million. They had 15-20 money launderers who worked for them, " he says, and tells about another case:"

"– In the fall we had three offenders who have cheated to three million. Where was it 40 money launderers."

"the Victims are in the whole country, but in recent years, several cases of fraud via computer and telephone attention in just the southern part of the country, often with the base in Malmö and Helsingborg."

"But that older people be fooled in this way also occurs elsewhere, says Pär Andersson."

"– Bankid-fraud is as much in Stockholm and Gothenburg."

TT: You have now had several cases such as this in your table. What do you see for development?"

" the Police have begun to establish a capacity and then begins to chase the group. One must hope that the risk of discovery makes more reluctant to do this. Everything is based on that the victim is easily fooled."

"– Otherwise it would have not happened."
