The article discusses an upcoming information afternoon organized by the Fürstenfeldbruck Senior Council to educate older adults on identifying and avoiding various scams.
The article details an event organized by the Senior Council of Fürstenfeldbruck, aimed at educating the local elderly population about the risks of fraud, such as fake tradespeople at their doors, telephone scams, and counterfeit emails masquerading as communications from banks or authorities. With older individuals often targeted by scammers, this initiative seeks to empower them with knowledge about these deceptive practices to help prevent victimization.
Scheduled for Monday, March 2, the event will feature Claus Schmied from the local police department, who will share insights into current fraudulent threats and provide practical advice on how to avoid falling prey to these scams. As scams can often be complex and convincing, having a knowledgeable speaker is aimed at equipping attendees with the necessary tools to recognize and report such incidents effectively.
The event will take place at 2 PM at the Mehrgenerationenhaus "Leben ist Begegnung" in Fürstenfeldbruck, and while entry is free, interested individuals are encouraged to register beforehand, ensuring that the organizers can accommodate all attendees wishing to benefit from this important information session.
