Warning: Scam Messages Impersonating Child Welfare Services

22.7.2025 11.24

Scam text messages impersonating child welfare services are currently circulating. These messages direct recipients to a website where criminals attempt to steal online banking credentials and personal information.

The text message claims you have received secure mail ("Turvaposti") from the child welfare services. They contain a link to the fraudulent website www.lasu-uusimaa.info where it asks you to log in with your online banking codes and give your own version of events.

It's a scam. Delete the message. Do not open the link or enter any information. The Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County never asks for personal or banking details by text message, WhatsApp, or regular email.
