Spam / Fraudulent Mail Report Description I received a deceptive physical mail claiming to be from the “Business Posting Department” at 41 Crossroads Plaza STE 162, West Hartford, CT 06117. The letter attempts to collect a “document processing fee” of $92.58 by falsely stating that my business is required by federal law to purchase their “state & federal labor law poster.” The mail uses intimidating language—referencing 29 USC Sec. 666(i) and 29 USC Sec. 2005, warning of fines “nearly $40,000,” and threatening legal risk for non-compliance—in an effort to scare new business owners into paying. It instructs recipients to detach a payment slip and return it with the fee. The letter misrepresents itself as an official government requirement and appears designed to trick newly established businesses into paying for an unnecessary product under the guise of legal obligation. This strongly suggests a misleading, potentially fraudulent solicitation.
