Fraudsters strike alarming in the run -up to Christmas!

In the Christmas anticipation, caution is also required: the Austrian senior citizens' association sounds the alarm in front of a wave of sophisticated fraud stitches, especially in the run -up to Christmas, which works for criminals like a land of milk and honey. The President of the Senior Citizens' Association, Ingrid Korosec, warns: "These criminals see 'easy victims' in seniors, they take advantage of their willingness to help." In addition to Christmas markets, private apartments are also increasingly targets for the crooks. The flicking lights and festive moods could quickly be clouded by nasty rip -offs that are targeting the savings of the older generation.

Caution of fraud!

The fraudsters skillfully perform and comply with amounts that can be destructive for many. In order to protect seniors, the senior citizens' association has put together an overview of the most common fraud stitches. Among other things, this includes trick frauds, where perpetrators disguised as workers or civil servants gracefully accessed apartments. Korosec emphasizes the importance of vigilance and advises you to contact the police immediately in case of doubt before you grip into a trap that rows the Christmas.

In the meantime, the Upper Austrian senior citizens' association offers a variety of activities to offer older people a community in which one can exchange and support themselves. With over 79,000 members, this federal government ensures that seniors not only speak about their worries, but can also remain active and fit. In addition to cozy afternoons, trips and workshops for new technologies are also organized. Membership in the senior citizens' association is a sign of the community and a way to defend itself against isolation-an approach that has become unavoidable today to bring security and joy to the elderly, especially during the dark winter months, such as rainbach-im-kreis.ooesb.at determined.
