Fake text messages after selling a car

add to Favorites

As Økokrim informs on its website, the forms of fraud via e-mail, SMS or telephone will increase. The fraud methods used are ingenious and cunning. Many scammers use trusted channels such as SMS, Whatsapp or Messenger to reach your money.

As Økokrim writes, the scammers also pretend to be State Highways Authority and send text messages related to the sale of the car.

Private individuals who intend to sell a car privately need to be aware of the text messages they appear to be coming from State Highways Authority. Text messages inform you that the application for the sale of the vehicle in question has not been approved.

Here is an example of the content of a fake text message:

«Salgsmeldingen for bobil reg.nr. AA12345 er ikke godkjent. Godkjenne nå: https://vegvesen.no.salgsmelding.link/82-1257/ »

«Sikkerhetssjekk utført, fullfør signeringsprosessen: https://vegvesen.no.salgsmelding.link/82-1257/Varsling.html»

«Takk! Salgsmeldingen har blitt sendt inn. »
