WHAT IS VISHING
VISHING IN SWEDEN
In Sweden, vishing – telephone fraud involving social engineering tactics where someone is tricked into giving away sensitive information – is classified as fraud through social manipulation.
In practice, it often involves a chain of criminal actions: first a phone call (vishing), followed by a person physically collecting items such as bank cards, cash, or valuables from the victim – a method often referred to as courier fraud.
However, the entire incident is typically registered as a single fraud offense in official crime statistics. The physical part of the crime is not recorded separately but is considered part of the same offense.
