It is too bad that it is so easy to cheat with Easy ID.
It takes Alternativets spokesman, Sikandar Siddique, and therefore he demands now action from justice minister Nick Hækkerup (S).
– It can’t be true, that citizens, who have been extorted of their Nem-ID, subsequently need to hang on improper loan and fight against creditors. There are clearly gaps in the legal certainty, which the minister must explain, he says.
Sikandar Siddique will convene the Parliamentary parties for a dialogue on how legal certainty in the field can be strengthened.
A current case of fraud, where two kingpins has been convicted, has scored the rapporteur to take up the area.
The two ringleaders were charged with having defrauded and cheated 75 victims. They have both been sentenced to two years and six months in prison.
But it was not all cases that were included in the final judgment, and therefore sits more victims are now left with a bill, tells the lawyer in The Social Assistance Rasmus Malver, who has represented several of the victims.
– My clients get stuck on the debt, because how have you decorated your system. When you went from the normal signature for Easy IDENTIFICATION, it was decided that the digital signature, in itself, was enough.
the Legislation on Easy-ID may, according to Rasmus Malver mean that his clients can get to hang on the bill, because they cannot provide a judgment for the creditors.
And then we have suddenly some adult people with mental disabilities, which hangs on a debt, they never even have formed, he says.
Several of the victims are adults who suffer from various mental disabilities, and the procedure has typically been to call and pretend to be from a public authority in order to get the victim to disclose its information.
now the convicted are free to use the victims ‘Easy-ID to, among other things, create payday loans in the victims’ names.
the Rasmus Malver says that more of the cases would probably have been dropped in the final indictment, because the prosecution has not been able to lift the burden of proof.

the Consumer council Think the past has said that you favor an amendment to the legislation on Easy ID.
– We believe legislation in this area is outdated. It makes sense, if you can’t abuse Easy-ID. But it we see the that you can. It is very difficult for the consumer to validate whether or not the person at the other end of the phone is from the bank, economist in the Danish Consumer council Think Ida Marie Moesby said previously.
Good advice to avoid misuse of personal information
Ida Marie Moesby, an economist at the Consumer Think, has three tips on how to avoid identity theft as, for example, abuse of NemID.
First and foremost you basically never disclose its personal information such as NemID.
If you’re called by someone who ask for such information, one should be critical and ask questions, although it can be difficult. Many scammers are skilled at winning people’s confidence or in pushing on, but think you always have an extra time.
the Consumer council Think has, in cooperation with, among others, banks and the police made an app you can download for free. It’s called My digital self-defense, and the purpose of the app is to inform users about pending cases of fraud on the web, for example phishing emails in circulation.
If you are in a situation where you have been defrauded and extorted money, one should immediately contact his bank. If the bank will not replace the lost amount, you can appeal to The financial appeals committee. It costs 200 crowns to complain, but if you win your case, you will get your money back.
At the police nationwide center for it-related economic crime, it also calls for the to be critical if you without even having turned being contact by someone who is pretending to be from the bank. As a starting point, the bank or other authorities never contact a person and ask for information.
If one were to have abused his or her personal information, you must first contact the bank, as far as possible to stop the transactions. Then you must contact the police.
