«Be careful, even in Castiadas there are unscrupulous individuals circulating who are carrying out the rear-view mirror scam» .

Mayor Eugenio Murgioni is directly warning the population. «In the last few days – Murgioni underlined – there have been reports of attempts, and in some cases unfortunately successful scams, carried out by individuals who, pretending to have damaged their vehicle (usually the rearview mirror), stop motorists accusing them of having caused the accident . In apparently kind but insistent ways, they ask for immediate compensation in cash , trying to avoid the intervention of the police».

Murgioni invites everyone "to pay maximum attention, and above all to talk to older relatives, who are the favorite targets of these scammers. Only with information and collaboration can we effectively counter these vile actions."

If anyone finds themselves in front of these people "they are asked to never get out of the vehicle - concludes Murgioni - to not hand over sums of money and to immediately contact the single emergency number 112 for the intervention of the competent authorities".
