Benevento – "The Carabinieri never ask for money from home": this was the key message delivered by the provincial commander of the Carabinieri of Benevento, Colonel Marco Keten, during the end-of-year press conference held this morning at the barracks on Via Meomartini.
The appeal is aimed in particular at the elderly of Sannio, often victims of skilled and unscrupulous scammers. "One month after taking office," the new commander explained to journalists, "we have toured the entire province, meeting, thanks to the invaluable assistance of parish priests and mayors, 2480 people, mostly elderly.
They were made aware of the scammers' modus operandi and the most common techniques to deceive victims. Keten emphasized the importance of prevention, also urging young people to do their part: "Being more experienced with new technologies, they can support institutions in protecting parents and grandparents, helping them recognize attempted fraud."
The campaign, which involved churches, municipal offices, and senior centers across the province, will continue in the coming months to raise awareness and reduce the risk of these heinous crimes.
