Unknown calls in Sweden
Unsure about a Swedish number? Explore concise community reports to judge calls and texts. Around Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö and Uppsala, you’ll encounter both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 08 (Stockholm), 031 (Gothenburg), 040 (Malmö) and 018 (Uppsala) — as well as 07x mobile ranges — do not reliably prove location or identity due to portability and VoIP. Treat them as helpful context, not proof.
Verification basics: return calls via the official number listed on the provider’s website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes. Use device and carrier tools to block repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here so others benefit from your experience.
