The police and consumer advice centers provide information as part of the theme week around the house - financial experts give important tips

According to a report by www.presseportal.de, inform the police and the consumer advice center about fraud and burglary protection as part of the “Around the House” theme week. Older people in particular often fall victim to fraud, such as the “grandchild trick” or false promises of winnings. It is therefore important to inform the population about current scams in order to prevent further damage. The event will take place on September 28th, 2023 at the Friedrichshafen Consumer Center and is aimed particularly at older people, but is also open to anyone else who is interested.

Such information events are extremely important to educate the population about existing fraud schemes. Older people in particular, who are often targeted by fraudsters, can benefit from these events by learning how to protect themselves from fraud. The fact that the police and the consumer advice center provide information together helps to raise awareness among the population and provide people with the right information.

The event is expected to increase awareness of fraud and participants will be able to change their behavior when dealing with potential fraud situations. In addition, information about burglary prevention can potentially help increase security awareness in the community and therefore reduce the number of burglaries.

In summary, the information event on fraud prevention and burglary protection is an important step to protect the community and increase the self-confidence of citizens.
