Unauthorised address changes are often the first indicator of ID theft and/or fraud. During the summer months between June and August, these crimes are usually on the rise, coinciding with people being on their summer holidays.
Freja includes a free ID protection that allows you to react on time and prevent fraudsters from changing your address. In addition, you may use Freja to block your address at the Swedish Tax Agency.
The summer holidays we have all been longing for are coming soon, and especially this year when the pandemic is not as present and limiting. However, when we take the opportunity to travel and go on holiday, so too do fraudsters take the opportunity to cause harm. ID theft often begins with the fraudster changing the victim’s address thereby hijacking their identity and causing great financial harm.
Freja+ automatically tracks your officially registered address for you, and immediately notifies you if it registers any unathorised changes to it, or if somebody creates a so-called special postal address in your name. Control and safety could not be easier to get! Not to mention free.
