Are you buying something from another private individual online? Are you meeting up with someone from a dating site? Or does it seems a bit odd with that person wanting a deposit for the rent on the flat you found for on the web?
To identify yourself electronically to authorities and companies is something that we have gotten used to. Thanks to your e-ID the e-service can be sure that you are who you say you are – and thanks to this safety measure you can attend to your personal errands online.
But how do you check that a private individual really is who he/she say they are online? Fraud is increasing dramatically and the fraudsters always act under false flag. It is a matter of all kinds of fraud – from romance scams on dating sites to fraudsters asking you to pay in advance for something that you will never get.
With Freja you can check the identity of someone without meeting up – and you can identify yourself to other privat individuals from your Freja app. This is how it works:
- The person identifying themselves open their ID Card in the Freja app
- Tap on ”Dela mina uppgifter” at the bottom of the ID screen
- Choose how to share; SMS, e-mail, Messenger, WhatsApp or the channel that you and the receiver have agreed upon
- The recipient now gets a secure link to Freja that shows your digital ID card
Feel free to share your ID with a friend to see how easy it is!
