Watch out for imposters
The Labour Department today (Sunday) advised company proprietors to watch out for people posing as officers of the department.
The advice followed recent reports about some companies which received telephone calls from people who claimed to be officers of the department and asked for particulars of their companies.
A spokesman for the department said departmental officers making enquiries would always make known their names and the names of their offices.
"Officers conducting site inspections are also instructed to identify themselves by showing their warrant cards.
"If proprietors have any doubts about a caller's identity, they should ask for his contact telephone number or office address so that follow-up actions can be taken," he said.
They should also check with the Labour Department or report immediately to the nearest police station if they have further doubts.
