Several people have told the health center that they have received calls from unknown people pretending to be the health center. The fraudsters say that the patient needs to set up a bank ID in order to book an appointment at the health centre.
– It happens that we call patients, but we don’t ask for their bank ID, says Jonas Broström, who is the health center manager at Olaus Petri health center.
According to Broström, other healthcare centers in Örebro have heard of the same type of fraud attempt.
– We want to go public with this so that the public becomes aware of this and that those who are affected report it to the police.
