Piénsalo 2 Veces was launched in 2020, in response to the proliferation of scams and hoaxes in digital media. The campaign is built in a participatory way with communities, so that people can inform themselves in a safe way and learn to recognize scams and false information related to irregular migration, labor exploitation and human trafficking. In addition, we provide information on safer alternatives, such as regular migration or study and work opportunities in the countries of the region.

Piénsalo 2 Veces has been adapted to the context of different communities in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Panama.

9 tips to identify
fake information and scams:

Verify that the source, organization or person that contacts you is reliable.

Do not give personal or banking information to strangers!

Suspect of offers that seem too good, with high payouts and few requirements.

If they call you to tell you that you won a giveaway in which you have not participated, it is a scam!

Beware of flashy headlines in emails and the news.

Do not respond to people who say they are from the bank and want to update your information. Call the official number of the bank!

Do not trust anyone who promises you migration documents, they are only obtained through official institutions.

Don't pay for coronavirus kits that offer home tests or miracle cures.

Be careful with romantic relationships on social media. They could be human trafficking!
