A general rule if you get this kind of message and want to be sure it’s fake, log into the official site by, in this case, googling Verotoimisto(do not open the link) and log into it that way. If it’s an official message they always tell you to log in via the app or the web page and never even send a link.
It’s a scam.
Just never follow any links in SMS.
From banks, vero, supermarket or immigration.
All pure scam.
I mean, even real Vero messages are a scam so… 😉
It’s a scam. And they don’t inform you about tax return by a text message. It’s a letter and they send in spring.
Never open links you get through sms. If the tax office or Kela or any governments entity wants your attention, they will mail you, or some times send an email to you through suomi.fi
>.co is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Colombia.
No.
No. Absolutely do not click the link.
Scam
Fuck no
Hell no
Absolutely NO!
Without understanding the language you can look at the address and almost immediately tell it is not legit. If they used a FI top level domain maybe.. But even then it looks suspicious not having ”vero” anywhere in the domain.
And if you in future get any messages via email, sms or otherwise. Never click them. Always know the official website. Also do not trust Google search because sometimes scammers have an ad opening their fake phishing web page.
Official finnish agencies rarely send SMS and when they do they don’t include links, mostly. If they do include links, the links end with .fi and the domain name includes the agency name like [vero.fi](https://vero.fi) (tax), [poliisi.fi](https://poliisi.fi) (police), [kela.fi](https://kela.fi) (benefits and other services) etc. Banks also use .fi
If you are unsure of any links provided in the SMS, don’t click them. It’s better not to trust anything than to just click everything. Sender ID in SMS is not proof of a sender. Anyone can send SMS with any sender ID. Be careful and don’t get scammed.

Yes, 100% legit
it says Vero is see, that you should get returned.
In my 15 years of living here, i learned one thing, they never send text messages, only mail.
All messages with links are fake. Usually they state to use lets say omavero without providing link
No it is not. The website is clearly wrong.
Link = scam
No
Hell nooo oooo ooo oo -o
Fake
No!
I’ve always thought that these scams are aimed mostly to elderly people, but now when I think of it, non-finnish speakers (who also may be unaware of security policies of Finnish agencies) are another obvious target. Good you asked!
No, only place VERO or any goverment type of stuff will contact you is at Suomi.fi
ei oo sain saman ite scämmi o
Why are people downvoting? There might be others that think about this
Heck no. Delete and do not click the link
How come people still can’t recognize fake URL’s? Even if it doesn’t even say vero.fi in the address…
”Vero on nähnyt”
Hahaha lol!
Come on! Lol obvious shitscam 🤣
No.
Here’s a quick rule of thumb: Show the suspicious message to a Finn. If you hear laughter, it’s a crude scam.
Even though Google Translate has been getting better over the last 20 years, it’s still very very broken. If you’re a native, you can usually notice multiple hilarious mistakes in each sentence. If you only know the basics of Finnish, you might find some suspicious bits here and there.
Don’t click on there, rather visit [vero.fi](https://vero.fi) and use your bank credentials, if there are messages about “tax returns” , stated as “palautuksia” here in the message, you will see them. Its almost impossible that you have tax return without that being stated in your official tax web page ([https://vero.fi/en/individuals/](https://vero.fi/en/individuals/) -> “login in to MyTax” top right , which will take you to [https://vero.fi/en/e-file/mytax/](https://vero.fi/en/e-file/mytax/) -> Sign in)

The link “[korvaukset.co](https://korvaukset.co)” doesnt seem to work anymore, which mean that it has been notified by authorities.
Never click on links provided by SMS or emails , rather check official sites.
Those are pretty basic scams, u click the link type in your info then the page starts loading for infinity. Thats bcs its a fake page and u just gave them your info. You can literally type anything in and it will start loading.
