According to the municipality, the fraudsters are mainly aimed at the elderly. By calling people and stating that they are plumbers from the municipality, they want to make a home visit.

- It's about scammers who want to fool people and get in quickly. They say they should do a plumber job, says Tobias Plantin.

"These criminals are creative"

He believes that this type of impostor appears during different periods.

- There have previously been people who state that they are grandchildren to the person they are trying to deceive to access account information. These criminals are creative, he says.

Make a police report

The municipality invites all residents who have received a similar call to contact the municipality and make a police report.

- It is obviously not good for such things to happen in the municipality. But we talk to the police and work to spread the information about this to raise awareness about this issue, says Tobias Plantin.
