Most of what you need to know about local services and voting comes from official sources you can check yourself. This sheet covers simple habits for checking claims and spotting messages that only pretend to be official.

Go to the source

  • Read agendas, minutes, budgets and notices before relying on a summary.
  • Type the official web address yourself, or search the main government portal.
  • For voting, use only your official election office.

Check the claim

  • Open a new tab and look up who is behind it.
  • Find the original notice or document.
  • Check the date: is it old news shared as new?
  • If you can’t check it, don’t share it.

Spot a scam

  • Watch for urgency, threats and unexpected contact.
  • Be wary of requests for personal or bank details, or payment by gift card or cryptocurrency.
  • Don’t click links or call numbers in the message. Find the agency’s contact details yourself.

If it happens

  • Stop replying, and contact your bank if you shared bank details.
  • Report it using the official routes on the back of this sheet.

In Argentina

  • Look-alike pages. The Ministry of Justice’s Con Vos en la Web program says a fake page can be an exact copy of a real one, so don’t go by its design. Check the address letter by letter: “argentina.gob.ar” is not the same as “argentina.io”.
  • Signs of phishing. Warning signs include messages from unknown senders, sender addresses that resemble official ones, spelling mistakes and doubtful links. A fake email may say your Mi Argentina account is blocked. The program says not to follow the link, but to open your browser and type the address yourself.
  • Report a cybercrime. You can report phishing and other cybercrimes to the specialist cybercrime prosecutors’ unit (UFECI) of the Ministerio Público Fiscal on (54-11) 5071-0040, or at the prosecutor’s office (fiscalía) nearest your home. In the City of Buenos Aires, its own unit takes reports on 0800-33-FISCAL (347225).
  • Government websites. CERT.ar, the national computer emergency response team, handles security incidents in the national public sector. Its public online form can be used to report an incident such as phishing or a problem with a government website (.gob.ar, .gov.ar).
  • Voting information. The Dirección Nacional Electoral says you can check your details on the electoral roll and where you vote at padron.gob.ar or on 0800-999-7237.
