Tips to avoid unnecessary scares
Among the main recommendations, always keep the children under surveillance to prevent them from getting lost, with two simple measures that we can apply such as writing down the father's or mother's mobile number on the child's arm or putting a pendant with their identity data and telephone: or teach your children their own name, surname, address and telephone.
Also do not take money from your bank at the request of strangers, even if they offer, apparently a great business.
Among the best known and most common scams is the "tocomocho" which consists in making the victim believe that he could benefit from the collection of an award-winning lottery participation, or the "of the stamp" through which cuts are passed of newspapers for legal tender tickets.
The Internet has also become one of the ways to make Christmas purchases so it is advisable to check that the charges received on the card correspond to the order placed, as well as keep the receipts and receipts until we receive the package.
In addition to not throwing away the purchase receipts in the vicinity of the points of sale as they contain information about the cards that could be used fraudulently.
If during this Christmas we go on vacation we should not forget to lock the door of the house, leave no visible signs that we are not at home, do not lower the blinds at all, install programmers turn on or off the light sometime, and Not disclose our absence in social networks.
During the operational phase of the campaign, the agents of the Local Police will be in all commercial areas, streets and markets where pedestrians will intervene and act, with uniformed presence and civilian agents, as well as in operational prevention devices with agents belonging to the units UDIP, GISC and GOMT.
