The Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration, led by Minister Marcin Kierwiński, has launched a comprehensive guide titled 'Safety Guide', designed to prepare families for emergency situations. This resource, produced in collaboration with various ministries and NGOs, details essential safety measures, including evacuation protocols and emergency signal recognition. The guide has already reached over 16 million families and is also available digitally through mObywatel.

However, this initiative has been met with unexpected challenges. Instead of solely serving its intended purpose of enhancing public safety, the guide has inadvertently provided opportunities for scammers to exploit unsuspecting citizens. Reports indicate that con artists are using the guide as a pretext for fraudulent activities, creating confusion among those who rely on the guide for safety information.

The Polish authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and to verify the legitimacy of any claims related to the 'Safety Guide'. This unfortunate situation highlights the urgency of public awareness campaigns aimed at educating citizens not just about safety procedures but also about potential scams that may arise from public initiatives.
