Finnish Customs has issued a warning about a surge in fraudulent messages being sent in the agency's name.

The agency emphasised that those sending the messages are scammers and that people should not click or follow any links.

Customs said the deceptive messages often invite people for questioning, then instruct their targets to click on a link for more information.
