Community Notes - Important Alert on Scams and Theft

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: BEWARE OF SCAMS AND THEFTS

The citizens of Larino, Castelbottaccio, Lucito, Lupara, Ripalimosani, Montagano, Petrella Tifernina, and neighboring areas are advised about reported cases of scams and theft attempts causing damage and loss to residents within these territories.

Fraudsters often impersonate couriers, public service technicians, door-to-door salespeople, or government officials. In some cases, they contact people over the phone, seeking to obtain information or access to homes under false pretenses.

Precautions to adopt:

  • Do not open the door to strangers, even if they claim to be service providers.
  • Immediately call emergency services at 112 if you are in doubt or sense suspicious activities.
  • Avoid providing personal information to unknown callers, especially over the phone.
  • Inform neighbors and alert vulnerable and elderly people about these types of scams.

Cooperation from everyone is essential to ensure the safety of the community. Report any suspicious activities to the competent authorities.
