The Financial Superintendence of Colombia announced that it will run the first 2025 Medellín edition of the joint “Me informo y cuido mi dinero” campaign on 6 and 7 March, together with Colombia’s Superintendence of Companies and Superintendence of Industry and Commerce. The sessions are intended to give the public practical information to help prevent financial fraud and involvement in illegal schemes such as unauthorised money collection. The programme will focus on helping attendees identify common fraud typologies, including purported financing offers or investment alternatives that promise high short-term returns but aim to take consumers’ money. It also covers borrowing through digital platforms, including security recommendations to reduce the risk of deception or abusive charges. The Medellín agenda is supported by the Medellín Chamber of Commerce, the University of Medellín and the Pontifical Bolivarian University. Events are scheduled for 6 March at 09:00 at the Medellín Chamber of Commerce (Auditorium 103, Centro Empresarial El Poblado) and at 14:30 at the University of Medellín (Auditorium 2, Block 11), and for 7 March at 09:00 at the Pontifical Bolivarian University (Auditorium Guillermo Jaramillo Barrientos, Block 12).
