We know that the mobility situation is not easy and facing the unknown can be overwhelming. We want to help you stay safe and avoid potential fraud and extortion. Here are some essential tips to protect yourself and your family.
Fraud Prevention
It is essential to always be alert and not trust anyone who offers you help or information. Fraud and extortion can happen at any time, especially when you feel most vulnerable. Follow these tips to prevent them:
Check the Sources:
Make sure that the information you receive comes from official and reliable sources. Be aware of those who ask you for money in exchange for services or promises.
Don’t share personal information:
Do not share personal data, documents or sensitive information with unknown or unauthorized persons. Keep your information private.
Report Suspicions:
If you suspect possible fraud or extortion, report it immediately. This includes any irregularities you notice on the part of government institutions, organizations, or humanitarian officials. Your report can protect you and others.
Be aware of possible Fraud and Extortion:
Stay vigilant and pay attention to warning signs. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Offers of help that require upfront payments or the delivery of important documents should be viewed with suspicion.
Beware of Information from Unofficial Sources:
Don’t get carried away by rumors or unconfirmed information. Always check that news and offers of help come from official sources such as government agencies, recognized organizations, and trusted communication channels.
