Hi, so the question is, are those mails fake/scam?
I used to live in Finland back in 2010-2013 I was around 8-11 years old and back then i didn’t have gmail. But my grandma who lived in Finland for over 20 years and when she retired she left Finland back in 2023. I started getting Finnish mails when she retired and came back to Estonia. I have had no connection to Finland for about 3 years, and my mother removed my residence permit in Finland.
So the main question is, how do I get Finnish mails, where did they got my mail?

  2. Both look like scam.

    You can try their own pages to double check.

  4. The first one has so big errors in language, that it can’t be from real Finnish company.

    The second one has also mistakes, but not as big.

    If there are URL’s in those messages, those would give it away instantly.

  6. How can I prevent myself from receiving these Finnish scam emails?

  7. If you are ever in doubt about these, just go to the site that they are impersonating, but not through any of the provided links.
    NEVER click on any links in emails or texts.

    In this instance you’d go to POP banks official site, log in and check if there’s any offcial messages in their banking site etc.. if still in doubt, message customer support.

    Again, NEVER click on the links and definitely NEVER log in through the portals the links provide.

  9. Scam 100% Banks or government offices never send you links. A bank may send a notice about important message being available, but they want you to sign into their own website using secure sign-in, but NEVER by using a link.

  11. Omg, these are so obvious scams. But it is sad that there are even natives who will fall for them.

  12. Most likely a scam. Easy way to verify is to check the sender email. Often it is a gibberish email address or something that looks like the official sender but there is obvious typos. And official government emails typically dont give you a link to click to fix the issue, but tell you to login to X service, be it vero, kela or whatever

  13. Easy rule of thumb: if it requests you to click something, button, link, anything, it’s a scam. Don’t do it even if you feel you should. Banks etc. will just ask you to log in their service without any of those in the actual message.

  15. No dots on the Ä´s in the first one. dead giveaway. Also horrible typo in “**eaa**mantilanteissa”

  17. En usko sillä eiku kato onko se turvallinen sivusto ja jos se kysyy mitään pankki kortti infoo niin älä anna äläkä mitään salasanoja

  18. The phone number is 1234567, you don’t need to know any Finnish to recognise this as a scam

  19. Never click links in email that you have not invited. Go and log in to the bank regularly if you suspect something and you’re a customer. They’ll have a proper process active there.

  21. Wouldn’t be surprised if your data was still floating around, Cloaked showed me just how far back some of my old info was still being shared.

  22. You’re getting a lot of scams. You need to learn to recognise them. Assume they’re all scams and check in safe ways if you’re unsure. Never click the links. Never give your passwords away. NO ONE BUT A SCAMMER WILL WANT YOUR PIN/PASSWORD THROUGH EMAIL OR SMS.

  23. Check sender’s email address hidden under email headers? That should give you clues

    But yeas, as others said….scam. A poorly planned one.

  27. Anything that has a link in it and you didn’t ask it for yourself is better left alone. Rather than clicking the link, go straight to the site of the courier or whatnot, and check things yourself. When it comes to banking, they’ll never send you links and the easiest way to check things is through your mobile app for the bank (used to be, someone please correcr if Finnish banks have shittier app than they used to have many, many moons ago).

  28. Tracking number seems to be valid.

    If you’ve ordered that, I’d login to UPS site and check everything is secure, 2FA on and all that, maybe change your passwords too.

    Could be that some computer you use (cellphones tablets etc included) might have been compromised, maybe you’ve entered your email somewhere where it’s leaked who knows. There’s tools to try and find more info about that, pages like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and similar sites.

    Never click anything on these kind of random email messages tho, always go to the original official website and login through there, not via any shady email links. Go directly to ups.com – never through email links.

    And obviously block and report ppl sending these unless the sender email addresses are valid.

    Malwarebytes Anti Malware is one pretty good tool to scan your device(s) and their free trial also includes tool scanning weather your email addresses have leaked to shady forums.

  31. Why do you even ask when the answer is so obvious?
