This week, an email from a sender that pretends to be Ikea has begun to flourish in Swedes’ inboxes.
News24 Can confirm that the email is sent out several times to the same e-mail addresses-and manages to get through the spam filter in Outlook and Google. This means that the mailing dips right into your usual inbox, which can give it a more credible impression.
“Urgent: You miss great rewards” it says in the subject line in the Ikea scam.
Then follows a relatively short email where the recipient is said to have a chance to win a 10-part set with cook vessels from Le Creuset. The market value of the goods is around SEK 20-25,000.
