The Municipality of Arvert is informing its residents about current fraudulent phone calls within the commune. Malicious individuals are posing as town hall employees or municipal agents to deceive citizens.
In response to this situation, the municipality reiterates the safety guidelines to follow if you receive a suspicious call: it is advised to not provide any personal information, never share codes received via SMS or email, and do not transfer any money.
It is recommended to hang up immediately, even if the caller is insistent or pressing. If in doubt, it is best to call the town hall directly at its usual number to verify the call's authenticity.
The municipality encourages citizens to report any suspicious calls to the town hall and the gendarmerie. It is also advised to file a complaint if you have been a victim of fraud.
This information is important to share, especially with elderly or isolated individuals, who are often the primary targets of these scams. Vigilance is key to staying safe.
