彭布罗克一家企业因涉及假消防安全检查员的诈骗损失近2000美元，促使安大略省警察向东安大略的商家发出警告。 A Pembroke business lost nearly $2,000 to a scam involving a fake fire safety inspector, prompting the Ontario Provincial Police to warn Eastern Ontario businesses. 2月17日报导的欺诈案涉及一名冒充检查员的骗子,他要求用文字发送的QR码加密货币支付检查用品的费用。 The fraud, reported February 17, involved a scammer posing as an inspector who demanded payment for inspection supplies via cryptocurrency using QR codes sent by text. 该雇员施加压力不通知管理层,用加密自动取款机发送资金。 The employee, pressured not to inform management, used a crypto ATM to send funds. 警方证实该请求是欺诈性的,并说自1月5日以来报告了三起类似骗局。 Police confirmed the request was fraudulent and said three similar scams have been reported since January 5. 合法检查员携带身份证、引用法律,不要求立即付款、现金、信用卡或加密货币。 Legitimate inspectors carry ID, cite laws, and do not demand immediate payment, cash, credit cards, or cryptocurrency. 当局建议企业独立核实证书,培训工作人员将检查员转介给管理层,并避免分享财务或敏感信息。 Authorities advise businesses to verify credentials independently, train staff to refer inspectors to management, and avoid sharing financial or sensitive information. 敦促受害者向警方报告事件。 Victims are urged to report incidents to police.
