high Fake police

Online stings (Stop-gruppa Stockholm)

Swedish police place fake escort profiles; identify and intercept buyers. Income-based dagsböter fines can be financially severe.

Mitigation: Profiles with too-easy availability and low screening are red flags; established touring providers with multi-year history are lower risk.

medium Deposit scam

Crypto deposit scams

Increasing share of Swedish escort directories run scam profiles asking for crypto deposits.
