I never fell for that one, but it did make me think though.<br />I also got several notices that looked rather official about needing to put up osha and worker posters. They correspondence would offer to sell me the set for like $40. I was shocked one year when my main office sent me one that they had bought -- them being so cheap and all, but it only happened once. I recall when I first got the notices I checked into to it and discovered all of the posters could be gotten free, but you had to go through a bunch of different agencies to get them all. I bought the entire set from Costco on one laminated sheet for $14.<br />I partially blame the government for all these scams. Have you heard about the latest one they are trying to pass in California about requiring documentation to show you have the correct tire pressure?

People posing as one of us inspectors, complete wth an official looking ID and business card. <br /><br />Since we show up unannounced, and it can be intimidating to the Employer, no matter how "nice" we are, they often dont ask to see ID, and wouldnt know a real one from a fake one.<br /><br />The scammers may have presented their fake ID, and then proceeded with the "inspection" and found "violations". Then here comes the deal....<br /><br />"Since this is our first visit, and your first offence, we will offer you this binder which contains a Safety Program and guide. It is only $700, which is much better than the $3,000 penalty for the citations...."<br /><br />The mom and pop type of business who doesnt understand how we operate will likely be willing to buy the program.<br /><br />This has happened several times in my 20 years working as an OSHA inspector. When a savvy Employer catches on that something is wrong, and reports it our BOI (Bureau of Investigation) gets on it, as it is the equivent of impersonating a police officer.<br /><br />I dont look like what someone expects an OSHA inspector to look like (often wearing tie dye....). I have had it were the Employer calls my office or HQ to verify my employment. I have NO problem with it at all, and actually find it amusing to see their suprised look when they get their answer.<br /><br />Fraud also happens a lot in my Bead World. Most famous thing comes from Nigerean ""BUYERS". I have been hit several times, but I know it was a scam. My post "STOP THIEF" recounts it in detail.<br /><br />I think these scammers should all be hung by their short hairs and left there for the crows to pick at!<br /><br />SigSig Wynne-Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758754941954867390noreply@blogger.com
