BACP received confirmation that the individual depicted in this Imposter Notice is impersonating a BACP Investigator. Listed below are details:

• He goes around to mostly Latino owned businesses and tells them that they need to buy the Labor/State poster (also included in the attached Imposter Notice).
• He goes on to say that if they don’t the City will shut them down.
• The poster is accessible on the State’s website, and there are no costs associated with obtaining it.

The owner of the restaurant informed BACP that the person charged them $62 for the poster. BACP has heard this before but didn’t have evidence. As a reminder, BACP Investigators:

• Do not sell anything,
• Do not collect money in the field, and
• Always carry a City of Chicago Employee ID and a City of Chicago Investigator Star Badge.

Please report anyone impersonating a city inspector by calling 911.
