The Cybercrime Unit of Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (Keskusrikospoliisi, KRP) handles complex cybercrime and financial fraud with an international dimension, including investment fraud, business email compromise, ransomware attacks, and large-scale identity theft affecting Finnish residents or organisations. Finland participates in Europol EC3 operations and contributes to international investigations coordinated through Eurojust and INTERPOL.
For individual consumers who have been defrauded, the first reporting step is to file a police report with local police (poliisi.fi) or through the national online reporting system. The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (KKV) also handles complaints about fraudulent online trading and misleading advertising, and the Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanssivalvonta, FIN-FSA) handles investment fraud involving Finnish-regulated firms.
Finland is notable for its participation in pan-Nordic law enforcement cooperation on fraud, including with the Nordic Financial CERT and shared intelligence on criminal networks. Finnish consumers can also contact the European Consumer Centre Finland (ECC Finland) for cross-border shopping disputes within the EU. For scam awareness resources, the Finnish National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-FI) publishes alerts at kyberturvallisuuskeskus.fi.
