Scammers call Tomsk entrepreneurs on behalf of Rospotrebnadzor
In one day, the department received five complaints from Tomsk residents
The Department of Rospotrebnadzor in the Tomsk region in one day received 5 calls from excited entrepreneurs. They reported that unknown people call them, introduce themselves as employees of Rospotrebnadzor, scare them with sudden inspections and offer to buy printed regulatory documentation for several thousand rubles.
The scheme is already known: fraudsters promise a “successful” inspection in exchange for a purchase, and if they refuse, they threaten sanctions. They call the surname, name, patronymic and working phone of a fictional specialist. When checking, it turns out that a person with such data in the department does not work.
The Office reminds that oral notification by phone about the alleged upcoming inspections is not provided by law. Scheduled and unscheduled inspections are regulated by the Federal Law “On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation”. In addition, Rospotrebnadzor is a supervisory authority that does not sell printed or other products.
All consultations when contacting through "Public Services", by phone or in person are free of charge. If in doubt, you can get advice from specialists of the department by phone or come in person to the following address: Tomsk, Frunze Avenue, 103a. Reception phone: 8 (3822) 26-03-90.
