Be Wary of Fake Health Brigade Members in San Miguel de Allende

Residents of San Miguel de Allende, take notice: authorities are warning about potential impostors posing as health brigade members in the area, particularly in Apaseo el Grande and Apaseo el Alto. This alert comes during the off-season, when fewer tourists and locals are around, making them more susceptible to such scams.

The warning was issued by the Guanajuato state health department, who advise that individuals should verify the credentials of anyone claiming to be from the health brigade before allowing them entry into their homes. This is especially important during the low season, when fewer people are aware of the regular brigades and may be more trusting of strangers.

According to the health department, residents should be on high alert, especially in the months of November and December. The impostors are likely to pose as health workers to gain access to private property, which could lead to personal safety risks and potential damage to property. This is a serious issue, especially for those of us who are here year-round and have to deal with these kinds of scams on a regular basis.

So, if you live in or are visiting San Miguel de Allende, be extra cautious. Don't just open the door to anyone claiming to be from the health brigade. Verify their credentials, and if you're not sure, call the local health department to check. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially during the low season when you're more likely to fall for these scams.
