Estimado lector,

Es una situación en la que todos nos hemos encontrado: escuchas que llaman a la puerta y no esperas a nadie. Tal vez sea un empleado del censo, un trabajador de servicios públicos o alguien que dice ser de la compañía de cable. Pero, ¿cómo sabes si la persona que llama a tu puerta es quien dice ser? En el mundo actual, los delincuentes se hacen pasar por trabajadores legítimos para entrar en tu casa, robar tus pertenencias o algo peor. Tu seguridad es tu máxima prioridad, por lo que debes saber cómo manejar estas visitas inesperadas.

Antes de siquiera pensar en abrir la puerta, pregúntese lo siguiente: ¿esperaba a alguien? La mayoría de los trabajadores legítimos, como las empresas de servicios públicos o los servicios de mantenimiento, le avisarán con anticipación si necesitan acceder a su propiedad. Si no esperaba a nadie, esa es su primera señal de alerta. Pero no se asuste: hay medidas que puede tomar para protegerse y no abrir la puerta a una posible amenaza.

Paso 1: Verificar su identidad sin abrir la puerta

La primera regla es sencilla: nunca abras la puerta hasta que estés absolutamente seguro de quién está del otro lado. Utiliza una mirilla o una ventana para ver quién está allí antes de hablar. Pídeles que sostengan su identificación o credencial de trabajo contra el vidrio para que puedas ver bien. Los trabajadores legítimos, como los encargados del censo o los trabajadores de servicios públicos, deben llevar una identificación. Si dudan o se niegan a mostrarte sus credenciales, esa es tu señal para terminar la conversación de inmediato.

 

Paso 2: Solicitar más información

No tenga miedo de hacer preguntas. Un verdadero trabajador de servicios públicos sabrá con qué empresa trabaja, qué está allí para hacer y podrá darle los detalles de inmediato. Pídale su nombre completo, el nombre de su empresa y el motivo por el que está en su puerta. Si le dice que trabaja con una empresa de servicios públicos, pregúntele qué servicio está allí para verificar: electricidad, gas, agua, etc. Si las respuestas son vagas o parece inseguro, esa es otra señal de alerta.

Paso 3: Llamar para confirmar

Incluso si tienen una identificación, no la tomes como cierta. Los estafadores pueden fabricar identificaciones falsas que parecen reales. La medida más segura es decirles que esperen mientras llamas a la empresa a la que dicen representar. Usa el número oficial de tu factura o el sitio web de la empresa, no el que aparece en su tarjeta o placa. Si son legítimos, no les importará esperar mientras confirmas. Si se impacientan o intentan apresurarte, es hora de terminar la conversación y llamar a la policía.

Paso 4: Tenga en cuenta los uniformes y logotipos oficiales

Si bien los uniformes y los logotipos pueden parecer oficiales, recuerda que son fáciles de falsificar. El hecho de que alguien esté vestido como un trabajador de servicios públicos no significa que sea el verdadero. Si algo no parece correcto, confía en tu intuición. Los trabajadores oficiales deben tener logotipos limpios e identificables en su ropa, equipo y vehículo. Si algo parece extraño (ropa sucia, falta de vehículo de la empresa o logotipos que no coinciden con los que reconoces), procede con cautela.

Paso 5: Confía en tus instintos y establece límites

Si la persona que llama a tu puerta parece extraña, no dudes en establecer límites. Es tu casa, tu espacio seguro y tienes todo el derecho a rechazar la entrada. Nunca dejes que nadie entre a tu casa sin la debida verificación. Si te dicen que tienen que entrar, pero no estás seguro, diles que esperen afuera. Un trabajador legítimo comprenderá y respetará tu precaución. Los estafadores, por otro lado, intentarán presionarte, así que mantente firme.

Paso 6: Manténgase seguro con la tecnología

Considere invertir en tecnología que agregue otra capa de seguridad, como un timbre con video. Estos dispositivos le permiten ver quién está en su puerta sin abrirla e incluso le permiten hablar con esa persona de forma remota. Es una gran herramienta para verificar quién está llamando, especialmente si no está en casa. Y, si algo no está bien, puede ignorar fácilmente el golpe y permanecer seguro dentro de la casa.

Paso 7: No abras la puerta a desconocidos

Este es un consejo viejo, pero sigue siendo valioso. Si no estás seguro, no abras la puerta. Es mejor ser cauteloso que lamentar haber dejado entrar a alguien peligroso. Incluso si tienen una historia convincente, diles que estás ocupado y que no puedes hablar en este momento. Si son sinceros, dejarán una tarjeta o volverán en otro momento. Si no lo son, acabas de evitar una amenaza potencial.

Se trata de estar seguro . Los estafadores, ladrones y delincuentes confían en tomarte desprevenido. No les des esa oportunidad. Es tu casa y tú tienes el control de quién entra.

Estoy compartiendo esto porque me preocupo por ti y por tu seguridad. Protégete a ti mismo y a tus seres queridos siguiendo estos pasos. Y si tú o alguien que conoces alguna vez resulta herido debido a la negligencia de otra persona, estoy aquí para ayudar. Llama a mi oficina al 703-761-4343 o al 301-949-1515 para obtener la orientación y el apoyo que necesitas.

Hasta la próxima, manténgase seguro, permanezca atento y nunca envíe mensajes de texto mientras conduce.

Atentamente,

Abogado Paul Samakow

I had the pleasure of being represented by the Law Offices of Paul Samakow. I give him and his team 5 stars. Starting with Pablo, with whom we had the consultation, Jose C., Daniel O., Beatriz O., Sofia, and Eva are some of the people who handled different aspects of my case. They were all very kind and always kept me informed about my case. If for some reason I couldn't answer the call, they always left me a voicemail with details of what they needed from me. When I called them back, I never had any problems getting back to them. Paul Samkow will always be 100% recommended by my family. Near the end of my case, Attorney Paul Samakow himself contacted me directly. He was very honest, direct, and with his experience gave me the best advice. He effectively obtained the highest possible compensation for me and my two children in the car accident we were involved in.

First class law office . Dealing with a car accident at times becomes tedious. I’ve never dealt with a car accident ever before. I felt fully prepared and knowledgeable throughout, the whole process of my case. They never sold me a dream and they also actually over achieved . The most import thing to me as a client was communication. From the concierge. To the paralegal shoutout Justin. To the attorney on my case. I just wanna say thank you for everything. Going with this law firm was one of the best decisions. I could have made. 5starsssssssssss

I recently worked with Paul Samakow and Rocco on a personal injury case, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Paul and Rocco were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They took the time to understand my needs and kept me very well updated throughout the entire process. They were always willing to go above and beyond to meet my expectations. Even when challenges arose, they remained flexible and open to compromise, ensuring my priorities were always respected.I highly recommend Paul Samakow and Rocco Turzi

I first got injured ( burned in a sensitive area) and I didn't know what to Expect or what to to next. I found Mr samakow and his group online, read.some reviews and gave them a call. Mr samakow took my call and we began the process of gathering details.Throughout this case I was anything but easy to work with - I was frustrated and upset with the insurance company often.Life was happening too fast around me to begin with, and this is without considering the stress from the case itself.However, through all of this chaos and confusion, Mr samakow remained calm, and for the most part found a way to accommodate me at every turn the case took. He was honest about his intentions, and always transparent. My case settled in roughly 15 months!Thanks to paul, and the samakow law group for your patience and professionalism!I'd use again, and I highly recommend. 👌Best regards,Ryan s.

She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. Her professionalism and compassion made a challenging situation much more manageable.The attorneys at the firm are equally impressive, demonstrating expertise and dedication to their clients. I felt confident in their hands, and they delivered outstanding results.Thank you Evelyn, and the entire team, for your exceptional service!

I've been a nursing home abuse attorney for 25 years. In Virginia the legislature codified understaffing cases for attorneys like me in direct response to the case of Alcoy v. Woodbine which Paul Samakow litigated and won! In short, nursing home residents in Virginia are more protected because of Paul Samakow. Having now gotten to know him better I am moved by how caring and compassionate he is. An attorney that is brilliant and capable coupled with a loving passion for his clients is a dangerous combination. If you are considering hiring an attorney, Paul Samakow will not let you down.

Paul is excellent I trust him with my life. He took on my case not even being in his own state, he had to get a special license to practice in my state just for my case. He took very good care of me and I was a pain in the butt! He assured me that I've made the right choices. He educated me on a lot of things, step by step process. The thing that got me the most was he goes above and beyond professionalism. He keeps you well informed. He's an excellent lawyer ! I can say that he did my case Justice and you'd be a fool not to hire him . Paul will have your best interest first and foremost I can tell you that is fact!
