The importance of social networks
Social networks have become a fundamental tool in our lives, offering a wide variety of advantages but also posing some disadvantages. The phenomenon of ‘fake news’ has acquired great relevance, and many people end up believing information that is not true.
The importance of contrasting information
On occasion, you may have shared a news or post that caught your eye. However, it is crucial to cross-check information and be extremely cautious. The National Police has issued a warning regarding this issue, highlighting the importance of verifying information before giving credit to it.
Alert against possible scams
The fear of being a victim of a scam has increased over time. Criminals have diversified their techniques and use technology to carry out criminal acts. In recent months, several fraud attempts have been detected with the aim of extracting money from victims.
However, it is important to remember that not everything you read is true. For this reason, the National Police has spread a message on social networks urging people not to give credit to a certain email that warns of possible home invasions. This email warns of individuals who, under the false pretense of serving a court order, trick victims into entering their homes.
Caution is always essential in these situations. The National Police has urged the population not to spread this type of message without verifying its veracity, and to always turn to official sources before sharing alarming information.
Increase in online scams
This does not diminish the importance of being aware of the rise of online scams. With the emergence of new fraud practices, such as sending text messages and emails impersonating public or private entities, it is crucial to exercise caution and not provide confidential information. In the event of a request for bank details, it is advisable to block the message and report it to the relevant authorities.
