In recent days, numerous citizens of the province of Brescia have been involved in a phone scam that prompted ATS Brescia to issue an official warning to alert the public. The Health Protection Agency has received various reports through its URP and switchboard, with victims stating that they received text messages inviting them to contact a phone number for alleged personal health communications. However, those who made the call discovered that their phone credit had been completely depleted.
ATS Brescia firmly emphasizes that it does not send health communications via messages requesting individuals to contact dedicated numbers and considers these practices to be scams aimed at draining phone credit or obtaining sensitive data. The Agency urges citizens to exercise utmost caution and not to respond to such messages, reporting any suspicious incidents immediately to the Carabinieri or the relevant law enforcement authorities. The safety of citizens is a priority, and ATS Brescia reiterates the importance of prudence and active collaboration in the fight against fraudulent activities.
