Online scams are a big problem and many victims feel ashamed. Gitte Pålsson and Åsa Ikekhua from Skåne were deceived via SMS.
On Thursday, they demonstrate in Stockholm to get the Riksdag to raise the issue and put pressure on the banks.
Åsa Ikekhua and Gitte Pålsson were exposed to two different types of scam text messages. Åsa lost SEK 25,000 and Gitte her entire savings capital.
– 348,000, my world was destroyed, says Gitte Pålsson.
None of them have received any money back from the bank. That is why they are organizing a demonstration in Stockholm on Thursday. They want the Riksdag to raise the problem of fraud and for the banks to take greater responsibility.
– The banks must review their security systems, says Åsa Ikekhua.
– I thought we had legal certainty in Sweden, but I feel that I have got a new picture, says Gitte.
