More people in Lithuania are reporting SMS messages claiming they owe money to Sodra, the country’s State Social Insurance Fund Board. The messages state an alleged unpaid contribution, threaten debt collection and include a link. Sodra says these are scam messages and recipients should not click the link.
Anyone unsure about contributions, debts or benefits should check the information independently by entering www.sodra.lt in a browser and signing in through the official website. This allows users to verify whether the alleged obligation actually exists without sharing their details with a website opened from an SMS.
One message sent to residents reads: “SODRA: by 14 September 2026, an unpaid tax debt of EUR 1,859.86 will be transferred for collection.” The original message contains no Lithuanian diacritical marks and includes a link that supposedly provides more information.
The messages are designed to create a sense of urgency. Recipients may be led to believe they must act immediately to avoid debt collection or another negative consequence. An urgent demand to click a link is a warning sign that the message should be treated cautiously.
The link may lead to a fake website designed to resemble an official institution’s page. It may ask users to sign in to online banking, enter payment-card details or provide other sensitive information. A familiar-looking logo or layout does not prove that a website is genuine.
The official Sodra website is www.sodra.lt. The resident account is available at https://gyventojai.sodra.lt, while the account for insurers and employers is at https://draudejai.sodra.lt.
These addresses should be entered manually, or users should access their account from www.sodra.lt. They should not use the link supplied in the SMS. Official Sodra email addresses end in @sodra.lt.
Unusual web addresses, extra words or symbols in a domain name, and messages sent from foreign telephone numbers should also raise suspicion.
Sodra does not ask people by SMS to provide bank-card details or PIN codes, approve banking transactions or urgently transfer money. Recipients should not continue following instructions from the message, even when it appears convincing.
Suspicious SMS messages or emails sent in Sodra’s name can be forwarded to [email protected]. Reports from residents help identify new fraud methods more quickly and warn others about them.
