Reporting fraud in Finland

This page provides general information for people in Finland who suspect they have been affected by financial fraud. Reporting routes and consumer protections vary by location and can change. Confirm current requirements with the official organisations linked below.

Contact your financial provider

If you recently sent money, contact your bank, card issuer, exchange or payment service promptly using contact information from its official website, app or card. Explain that you suspect fraud and ask what stop, recall, dispute and account-security steps may be available. Keep a reference for the conversation.

Make an official report

The national police or government service linked on this page can direct you to relevant local reporting information. Online reporting availability and the responsible agency may depend on the incident and where it occurred. For immediate danger, use the emergency service appropriate to your location.

Preserve information

Keep transaction references, recipient details, wallet addresses and transaction hashes where relevant, the exact website address, messages, emails and a dated timeline. Separate what you know directly from what you suspect. Do not share passwords, one-time codes, private keys or wallet recovery phrases.

Be alert to repeat approaches

People affected by fraud may later receive unsolicited offers to retrieve lost funds. A claimed authority or knowledge of your loss does not establish that a caller is genuine. Do not pay unexpected taxes, deposits or release fees. Verify organisations independently through official sources.
