ITALY / NEWS & SECURITY – Strengthening public awareness to spot a scam before it is too late. With this goal, the National Police (Polizia di Stato) and Enel are launching a new joint awareness and prevention initiative, bringing safety information directly to the public in retail outlets.
From today, in fact, Enel stores are offering a free new information brochure produced in collaboration with the National Police, designed to provide practical tools against the most common frauds.

Practical advice and the “Energy Bar” meetings
The guide focuses in particular on preventing phone and online scams, offering clear guidance on three main fronts:
- Recognising warning signs: promptly identifying scam attempts and suspicious requests related to supplies or fake operators.
- Protecting your digital identity: safeguarding personal data, customer codes and access credentials.
- How to react: knowing exactly how to behave and who to contact in the event of a fraud attempt.
Alongside the distribution of printed material, the project includes organising Energy Bar events inside Enel shops: informative meetings open to all, designed to explore fraud dynamics in person and answer users’ questions.
A widespread, accessible service that brings institutions and security bodies closer to people’s daily lives, relying on knowledge as the first line of defence against scams.
