Answer

What can people in Mallorca do to avoid being tricked by urgent money requests?

A useful rule is to pause before sending money, even if the story sounds emotional or time-sensitive. Checking the request with another family member, calling the supposed person directly and speaking to the bank can prevent a rushed mistake. In Mallorca, where trust and everyday contact are part of daily life, that extra pause can be especially valuable.
