The Anti-Counterfeit Authority has received reports of persons posing as Anti-Counterfeit inspectors targeting business owners and soliciting money pretending to enforce the Anti-Counterfeit Act.

The code of conduct for Anti-Counterfeit Inspector is always to:

• Inspectors shall provide full particulars to identify themselves to the public when inspecting a premises
• Present the "Certificate of Authority" identification card
• They should indicate from which regions for clarification.

Please note that:

• The National Identification card details should match with the "Certificate of Authority" issued by the Authority.
• If the "inspector" is unable to provide the above, please contact us through the contacts below or contact the nearest police station.

An Anti-Counterfeit Authority Inspector DOES NOT:

• Ask for money or accept payment for any form of services during his or her work.

Impersonation of a public officer is a criminal offense. Anyone found impersonating as an inspector or any government employee is guilty of a felony crime.
