The State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC) in San Luis Potosí has issued warnings regarding a series of fraudulent phone calls. Scammers are impersonating agency personnel to target educational institutions and businesses, claiming that inspections are scheduled for December and attempting to solicit payments to avoid fines or sanctions.

Authorities noted that these fraudulent communications often originate from numbers with the 425 area code. The CEPC clarified that the agency does not conduct official inspections via telephone, nor does it use intermediaries or request payments through such calls. Officials have urged the public to verify all information and avoid sharing personal or administrative data with unverified callers.
