I am Swedish and never had this happen to me. Never had random things show up or ordered for me at all. What would the point be, you have to pay or get an invoice? For Klarna they use BankID so only I can order an invoice for myself in reputable shops.
I am in my 30s btw so I was alive before BankID and it was a worse time. Remember my parents paid bills with paper.
There are plenty of reports online about how identity theft is becoming widespread in Sweden. The fact that something didn't happen to you is not evidence.

The OP didn't claim it had happened to you. What they said is that it is possible to use the information about regular individuals that is publicly available to cause harm, and there are no attempts to stop this.
It is possible but it is not widespread.
Go back and edit your original comment because it is irrelevant and misleading.
