i received 2 of these calls today, about 5 minutes apart. both said that i was not in compliance with federal labor laws and that as soon as i ordered their package of posters i'd be in compliance. i asked the first caller if i looked up her company on the internet would it have ".gov" or ".com" at the end and she said it would have ".gov" and then asked if i was looking right then. (i was not.) when i told them that we had no employees she politely told me thank you and goodbye. the second lady called a few minutes later and i quickly told her we have no employees here, just 2 owners, and she got off the phone with me quickly. i never asked for or was told a price for the posters. i didn't take this call too seriously because i had received one 7 or 8 years ago that was similar, when i worked for my mother, and fortunately i had handed the phone off to my mother who somehow knew it was a scam. (i think the set of posters was under $35.00 back then though!)
