Informing Event on 6th December by Senior Safety Advisers
Seniors in Neuwied, Germany, can attend monthly consultations aimed at enhancing their security and awareness. These sessions, held on the first Friday of every month, focus on senior safety and crime prevention, and are facilitated by trained consultants from the city's senior security advisory network.
The consultations, which take place in the rooms of the neighborhood center at Rheintalweg 14 in the Neuwied city center, cover a range of security-relevant topics. These include crime prevention, protection against becoming victims of offenses, and advice by senior security consultants (Senioren-Sicherheitsberater). The consultants act as contacts on various crime-related issues, providing resources and advice for senior crime prevention.
Topics addressed during the consultations also include consumer protection, door-to-door sales, and prize notifications. Seniors can ask questions on any topic during the consultation, making it a valuable resource for those seeking advice on a wide range of security issues.
To find more information about these consultations and the security topics they address, one can visit the official Neuwied city website, particularly its sections on seniors and senior safety consultants, where information about meetings, topics, and contacts is provided. Local senior centers or meeting places (Begegnungsstätten) in Neuwied also frequently host or organize these monthly consultations.
Another resource for senior crime prevention in the Koblenz police district, which includes Neuwied, is the Senioren-Sicherheitsberater network. This network provides resources and advice for senior crime prevention and can be a valuable source of support for those seeking guidance on security-related issues.
The next consultation is on Friday, December 6, from 10 to 12 noon, and no registration is required. The consultations are free of charge, making them accessible to all seniors in the community. It's important to note that such incidents not only affect the wallet but also the psyche of the victims, so it's crucial to protect oneself and avoid becoming a victim.
In Neuwied, children or grandchildren are sending financial assistance requests via email or text message, which are actually scams. To protect oneself, one can train their sense for these scams. The scammers often provide a five-digit sum of money after a brief description of an emergency situation. To avoid falling victim to these scams, it's important to verify the identity of the sender and the legitimacy of the request before sending any money.
