Teramo: the Carabinieri continue their prevention activities against scams targeting the elderly.
Even in this period of the year the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Teramo continue their prevention activities against scams against the elderly. The initiatives implemented and already tested over time are expressed in meetings in churches, social centers, condominium meetings, constant presence in post offices especially on pension payment days.
The entire provincial territory is involved from the mountains to the sea.
This preventive strategy has already borne good fruit, in fact, scams against the elderly in the Teramo province have been eliminated. Furthermore, more and more often the attempts carried out by scammers are promptly unmasked by the victims or their family members who do not take the bait and turn to to the police force.
These activities aimed at the elderly have been accompanied by a sort of social awareness campaign aimed at the elderly's relatives, neighbours, shopkeepers etc. in order to build a safety net for these segments of the population who are targeted by scammers.
A fundamental piece in this context is represented by the press which always keep the spotlight on this hateful crime so as not to let it pass into oblivion and with constant information they reach as many people as possible in order not to let them fall into the traps. plots against them which, in addition to affecting their economic profile, can cause much more serious damage from a moral point of view.
These activities promoted and encouraged by the Provincial Commander of the Carabinieri of Teramo Colonel Pasquale Saccone will continue without stopping throughout the summer period, furthermore in the most isolated municipalities the Commanders of the Carabinieri Stations will take care of reaching the elderly in order to bring them the closeness of the Force and at the same time warn them about the risks they may run.
This preventive strategy is objectively producing the desired results and therefore it is reiterated once again that no police force, body, insurance company etc. requests the payment of money to free a relative, or to pay insurance or a debt, etc. In cases of doubt it is always advisable before undertaking any initiative to contact 112, or contact your relatives or an acquaintance or a neighbor and never give in to requests.
