Description
They prey upon newly-registered businesses. The C.P.S. OSHA scam involves a deceptive mailer titled "Safety Manual Order Form" in my case, sent from “C.P.S.” with a return address of P.O. Box 73127, Washington, D.C. 20056. It falsely claims to require businesses to purchase mandatory OSHA compliance posters or face penalties. The mail mimics official government correspondence to pressure recipients into paying $295 for items that are typically available for free or at low cost through official OSHA or state labor department websites. This scam targets small businesses unfamiliar with OSHA requirements.
