The bailiff warns of SMS scams
The enforcement officer warns that fraudsters who pretend to be eavesdropping on the customs authority send text messages urging them to pay or dispute a payment order.
“If you receive a text message or if someone calls you and asks you to pay or dispute a claim, or give out your bank ID, it is not from the Norwegian Kronofogden,” the authority writes on its website.
If someone wants to be paid and applies for a payment order, the Kronofogden sends a letter, either via a digital mailbox or by post.
The enforcement officer also advises that it is possible to check on the authority’s website whether you have received a payment demand. (TT)

Finished with electricity support for Norrland?
Frozen
Hey!
The government has not yet given any clear information about it. In an interview with The Express however, says Oscar Sjöstedt, economic policy spokesperson for SD, that an electricity subsidy should also be given to Norrland.
– It must be done and we are working together with the government there, he tells the newspaper.
However, when that will happen is unclear.
Read that they were convicted of the hairdresser’s murder (execution) in Gothenburg.
Why aren’t both sentenced to life in prison?
Is it because they were young when the crime happened?
Is this the District Court’s judgment, and will it be appealed?
Hasse Gustafsson
Hey! The penalty value is assessed to be life imprisonment for the murder. However, the court has decided that the shooter was 18 when the murder was committed, which thus led to a lighter sentence.
The other person is convicted of aiding and abetting.
The penalty value for his act is considered lower than for the two shooters, but the assessment is still that it is equivalent to life imprisonment. There, too, age is taken into account, according to GP.
It is the district court’s verdict and the newspaper writes that it will be appealed.
Is Amanda answering here today?
You may need to change the texts where you write about Friday morning even though it is Thursday so far! ?? Just a tip!
Lenita Maria Andersson
Hey! Haha you are so right, for some unknown reason I seem to have realized that today was Friday? Maybe looking forward to Christmas too much. In any case, have changed it in the texts now. Thank you for noticing that! ??
How far has it come in the investigation into who was behind the explosion of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipes? When is the investigation expected to be completed? Will the investigation, parts of it, become classified information?
Sincerely 🙂
Franco Baresi
Hey! Good question, so far not much has emerged from the investigation. But we’ll keep an eye on it and write about it in case we find out more!
Is it really a case if the police suspect attempted murder? Why suspect the woman instead of putting the weight and weight on what the police suspect: that a man pushed her to her death.
Redo do right… again…. ?
Angry!
See answer to the question below.
One person has been arrested and there are reports that the woman fell because she was pushed. It’s in the notice.
