  Health officials in North Carolina say a fake health inspector is making the rounds at restaurants to gain access to kitchens.

A man posing as a health inspector has been targeting restaurants in North Carolina, scamming them out of money by claiming their equipment needs replacement or repair. The scammer, described as a white male in his 50s or 60s with a heavy Southern accent, has been reported in multiple counties including Mecklenburg, Gaston, and Cleveland. He typically arrives in an unmarked vehicle, wearing a blue collared shirt and khaki pants, and uses a fake badge to gain entry. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has warned businesses not to pay anyone claiming to be a health inspector, as legitimate inspectors do not solicit payments directly. The scam has led to significant financial losses for some restaurant owners, prompting increased vigilance and police investigations across the affected areas.
