A recent notice from the local police of Riva del Garda has warned citizens about an increase in scams aimed at extorting money and sensitive information. With the holiday season approaching, fraudulent communications, which appear in the form of emails, messages, and phone calls, are expected to rise. The most common scams include requests for tax refunds, notifications about packages, and legal summons, with seemingly advantageous offers that can deceive even the most cautious individuals.
The local police emphasize the importance of online security, advising citizens to use only reliable websites for their holiday shopping and to be vigilant about the origin of communications received. It is essential to verify any urgent or suspicious requests through direct contacts, as many malicious emails may appear to come from friends or family due to compromised accounts. The community is encouraged to share this information to ensure greater collective safety.
