In Cirié, an event of fundamental importance is preparing to play a key role in the fight against an increasingly widespread and insidious phenomenon: scams. On Wednesday 8 May, at 4pm, at the Ernesta Troglia Institute in Via Cibrario 14, a meeting dedicated to the prevention and defense against online scams and home burglaries will be held. The event, organized by the Seniors Meeting Point and UNITRE Cirié, will see the collaboration of the Cirié Carabinieri Lieutenant and the support of the municipal administration.
THE NEED TO BE INFORMED
In an era where technology advances by leaps and bounds, so do the methodologies adopted by bad actors to take advantage of unsuspecting citizens. The meeting is proposed as a crucial moment to inform and train the population on how to recognize and foil scam attempts. But why is it so important to participate in these meetings? The answer lies in the growing sophistication of the scams themselves, which often leave victims not only without savings, but also with a deeply ingrained sense of vulnerability.
DEFENSE STRATEGIES
During the event, experts in the field of IT security and representatives of law enforcement will offer valuable advice on how to protect yourself from web dangers and home thefts. We will discuss the latest online scam techniques, such as phishing and scams, and how to spot warning signs before it’s too late. Furthermore, effective strategies for improving home security will be shared, from choosing more robust locks to installing modern alarm systems.
A COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
The importance of events like this lies not only in the opportunity to learn how to protect oneself individually, but also in strengthening the social fabric through the sharing of common knowledge and strategies. Collaboration between local authorities, law enforcement and citizens is essential to create a safer and more aware community. Free and open access to the event underlines the commitment of the municipal administration of Cirié to put the safety of its citizens first. Everyone’s participation is essential. Not only the elderly, often privileged targets of scams, but citizens of all ages can benefit from the information and techniques shared on this occasion. It’s an opportunity to learn, but also to demonstrate that, united, we can be stronger than the threats around us. Personal safety begins with information and prevention. Participating in meetings like the one organized in Cirié is a proactive step towards protecting yourself and your loved ones. Let us remember that, in a rapidly changing world, being informed is not only useful, but necessary.
