Finance warns vs impersonators
The Department of Finance warned consumers, government, and private entities yesterday to verify the identities of any person claiming to represent a government agency, regulator or enforcement personnel.
The public is urged to withhold providing information from anyone claiming to represent a government agency and collecting a debt or fee of any kind without proper documentation or verification.
Finance strongly recommends that the public ask for proper identification of any regulators or enforcement personnel who come into any establishment by confirming the identities, if there is reasonable suspicion, by calling the agency directly.
If you suspect a person of impersonating a legitimate government agency, permitting or regulator personnel, call 664-9001 to report any suspicion.
