The Canovelles City Council has warned of potential phone scam attempts where unknown individuals solicit personal data, referencing elections and claiming designation as an electoral board member.

The council reminds citizens that official notifications for appointment to an electoral board are always delivered in person by a municipal courier and signed by the Electoral Board of the Zone. This communication is never made by phone, nor are personal details requested via this method.
It is reiterated that citizens should not provide personal or banking details, or any other sensitive information, over the phone without proper accreditation and justification, as official bodies do not request such data by phone or door-to-door.
The City Council urges the public to exercise extreme caution with any suspicious calls and to always verify the origin of communications before sharing personal information. It is also recommended to inform family members, friends, and acquaintances who may be more vulnerable to such deceptions.
