June 1 report from Kustin notes imposters posing as state inspectors of weights and measures travel across the state charging for scale testing. Merchants warned that the fraudsters claim official authority, test devices, and levy fees, prompting caution and inquiry by authorities.
State inspectors are not permitted to accept any fee for inspections or for repairs. They do not perform repairs themselves, except in cases where only minor adjustments are required.
Officials require inspectors to carry id cards stamped with the state seal. The cards must be countersigned by officials and show acceptance of service without any fee.
