Am I victim of phishing?
Phishing is a form of scam where the fraudster pretends to be an organisation you know.
There are currently an increasing number of fraud attempts where scammers falsely claim to be from IKEA, aiming to deceive for financial gain. We urge you to remain vigilant.
Unfortunately, there are many fake campaigns where well-known brands are misused to mislead people; unfortunately the IKEA brand is one of those used in these campaigns. These campaigns appear in emails, SMS and on social media and can include claims of gift cards, vouchers and other items. Many times, sensitive information or some kind of payment is requested, something that IKEA would never do.
This is good to keep in mind
- Always question implausible offers.
- Pay attention to senders and links that look unfamiliar.
- Language errors such as misspellings, strange wording and poor sentence structure are indicators of dishonest senders.
- Even offers that look like they come from IKEA, use our logo and our graphics and do not contain any language errors can be a scam.
- If you are suspicious, delete the email without clicking on any links and do not disclose any sensitive information.
Please share this information to help reduce the number of people being scammed. If you have been the victim of a scam, we urge you to report it to the police.
