Sefin Belém Sefin Belém City Hall warned individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs) about a scam that uses WhatsApp messages and other applications to fraudulently charge the Location and Operation License Fee (TLPL). According to the Municipal Finance Secretariat (Sefin), the messages inappropriately use the name of the Ministry of Cities or request payment via links, Pix keys and other means that are not the official channels of the secretariat. According to Sefin, the TLPL is a municipal tax under the exclusive jurisdiction of the secretariat. The Ministry of Cities does not have any responsibilities related to the collection of this fee. Guidance for entrepreneurs is not to click on links sent in messages, not to provide personal data and not to make payments requested through unofficial means. In case of doubt about the authenticity of a charge, the recommendation is to confirm the information directly on the official channels of the Municipal Finance Department. The city hall reinforces that any communication about the TLPL must be verified before the taxpayer makes any payment, to avoid losses caused by electronic scams. ?
