According to the news from the Fire Bureau, some lawbreakers have faked the fire detachment recently and called the social enterprises and institutions to forcefully sell fire books and fire fighting equipment. They claimed that as long as they purchased fire books or paid a certain fee, they could pass the fire inspection, otherwise they would check it. Fines, until closed down, threatened the social units and business owners to directly transfer funds into bank accounts to obtain illegal profits.

Nowadays, these kinds of cases have been commonplace, and the methods of fraud have emerged endlessly. Many law-breakers have pondered and designed many new scams. Because some owners do not understand fire laws and regulations, it is easy to be deceived.

China Rescue Equipment Network Xiaobian is here to organize the exposure of five kinds of fraudulent means of posing as firefighters, I hope everyone will be more vigilant.

Means 1: Some criminals have published pirated copies of various types of fire books, photo albums, and audio and video products. They have identified liaison officers stationed in all parts of the country to sell these inferior products at a high price by fraudulent means.

Means II: Criminals go to bookstores to buy laws and regulations on fire protection, learn some terminology related to fire protection, impersonate law enforcement officers, and impose forced inspections on units or places, and then use unsatisfactory marketing equipment because of shortage or replacement of fire equipment. Fire-fighting products, or "high fines" on the grounds of failure to pass fire inspections. If the unit raises doubts, they will also bargain for "fines". Once you collect the fine, you run away.

Means 3: Fax to the unit's emergency notification document with the official seal of the fire department, requiring the enterprise units within the city to conduct new fire safety regulations training, and deposit the training fee into a private bank account number.

Means 4: Under the banner of “Fire Safety Fire Protection”, a “deposit” is levied everywhere and it is claimed that as long as any fire safety accident occurs within a certain period of time, a full refund can be made.

Means 5: Under the banner of a fire prevention center and a firefighting publicity center, they actively contacted urban units and taught fire prevention knowledge for free. When the lecture was over, they would take out some fire extinguishers, smoke masks, and lifeline rescue equipment. Some of these fire-fighting equipment are fake and shoddy products. Some of them are regular products, but they are unusual compared with the market price.

The fire department reminded the general public, friends, and enterprises and institutions that the fire protection department would wear standard uniforms when carrying out supervision and enforcement, and carry relevant certificates with them. Fire-fighting staff are not allowed to designate or disguise designated fire protection products for social organizations. No fees will be charged. Fire equipment, books, etc. will not be promoted at the time of inspection or training, and will not be charged at the time of on-site inspection. The leader of the fire brigade will not outsource or designate any projects in any way, nor will he call to purchase any fire-fighting products.

In the event of similar measures mentioned above, companies and individuals must be vigilant, carefully identify the true and false identity of the parties, check the relevant documents, and call 110 to the police or call the fire department “ 96119 ” for verification. If it is confirmed as a fire fraud, Collect relevant evidence and immediately report the case to the public security agency to cooperate with the public security agency to solve the case quickly.
