In modern society, the phenomenon of various scams attempting to extract money from individuals deemed easy targets has become a daily problem.
From classic phone scams where an immediate need for money arises to “save” a loved one from a difficult situation to technical services seeking access to your home through deceptive means, scammers find increasingly “promising” ways to achieve their malicious goals.
Your awareness is the first step to shield yourself from these malicious actions. If you have valid suspicions that something is amiss, turning to the authorities or an experienced private investigator – detective is the way to go.
Over the years at the KATERINA BITZIOU Private Investigation Office, we have seen many attempted frauds. The following tips could save you:
- Don’t easily trust strangers or accept “company representatives” with whom you haven’t initiated any contact.
- When someone asks to enter your home, ensure you verify the reasons they provide.
- Calls from strangers asking for help for someone close to you are usually misleading and have alternative motives.
- Communication from municipal services arbitrarily for your better service is not a common practice.
- Always ask for the full name and contact number of the person presenting the problem and asking for money. Then call back to verify its authenticity.
- Do not disclose personal codes and information unless you desire to and have initiated the request yourself.
- Contact the authorities for any suspicious attempt at deception.
- Reach out to the Hydorios Detectives Private Investigation Office for any case that concerns you or simply when you need the advice of a specialist. We take immediate action and work 24/7 to resolve your case.
