The short answer
Use the Swedish police’s English reporting guidance and FI’s English victim information. Prepare a concise summary, call the listed police contact, and ask what language support is available.
Use official English guidance
The Swedish police publish an English page explaining how to report a crime. It lists 114 14 or a station for non-emergency reports, and +46 77 114 14 00 for calls from abroad or a foreign mobile in Sweden. Use those official details rather than an unverified English-language recovery service.
FI also publishes English guidance for people affected by investment fraud. It advises immediate bank contact, reporting to police, and notifying FI so it can help warn others. These sources give starting points; they do not promise every form or interaction will be available in English.
Prepare a summary before contacting anyone
Write a short English account of how you were approached, the platform domain, actual payments, and the reason you suspect fraud. Keep names and transaction identifiers exactly as recorded. Include original messages even if they are in another language, and label any translation as your own.
Ask the organisation what language assistance or submission format is available. Do not assume a private translator or adviser is authorised to act for police. If someone helps with the report, agree what information they can view and keep wallet secrets out of the material.
Keep urgent protection separate from translation
Contact the bank or exchange promptly through genuine support, even if your full summary is not ready. Give the payment date, amount, and recipient first. If BankID was exposed or an unexpected request approved, follow genuine BankID and bank guidance immediately.
Keep the reference numbers and ask how future documents should be submitted. Being uncertain about local procedures is a reason to seek official clarification, not to pay an agent who claims a special English reporting route guarantees recovery.
Where to act in Sweden
Finansinspektionen (FI) advises contacting your bank immediately to try to stop a payment, and reporting investment fraud to police on 114 14 or at a police station. From abroad or a foreign mobile in Sweden, the police list +46 77 114 14 00. FI can receive information to help warn other consumers. A warning or police report is not a promise that your money will be recovered.
