Christmas is associated with joy, community, generosity, and love, but unfortunately it is also a high season for brazen attempts at fraud.

Fake text messages and emails usually start to spread just before the online Christmas shopping season starts and fraudsters see their chance to deceive you. So-called phishers try to get hold of your card details or deceive you about package deliveries via disguised emails and text messages, requiring you to be extra vigilant.

Freja has been collaborating for some time with Stöldskyddsföreningen (SSF) and their service ‘Säkerhetskollen’ to make sure you get a handle on how best to stay safe online.

In the Freja app, you can keep up to date with the latest news and the latest developments directly managed by Säkerhetskollen.

Make sure you have updated the Freja app to the very latest version to be able to see the Safety Check in Explore.

How Do I Find Säkerhetskollen in Freja?

When you go to ‘Explore‘ and scroll down to ‘Freja Partners‘, you will find Säkerhetskollen’s dedicated section.

Tap on the image with the heading ‘Säkerhetskollen‘ to open and find ‘Warnings – look out!‘ with the very latest security warnings from Säkerhetskollen regarding digital crime, cybercrime, fraud and scams.

Säkerhetskollen also offers a quick test that you can take to gain a better understanding of online safety. And should you need it, there is also access to personal help via chat or email.

If new types of scams appear, you will definitely be the first to know by reading about it in the Freja app, and not by being a victim of them.

We wish you a happy and safe Christmas!
