Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter
I received an official looking envelope with an enclosed letter and return envelope indicating I owed a $298 "processing fee", citing that "The State of California and the Federal government require all California employers to post a number of required notice. . .Failure to comply with California Labor Law Posting regulations can result in fines. . . .. " The sender offers to provide posters and "Failure to comply with posting regulations can lead to fines up to $17,000."
On the back side of the letter is a nearly invisible tome of Questions and Answers and Policies, Terms and Service Agreement. I waded through the fine print to find that this was actually "a research and publishing company."
Googling the company validated that this was a scam, but I could see it would be very easy to perceive this as a letter from a government agency and that one was required to send in $298 to comply with labor laws.
