888-242-1185

Got a call from 888-242-1185
Did not answer since I did not recognize #, looked up, and happy I did not answer.
They will probably call again and I will really mess with them.

Got a call from these when we obtained our DBA. As we don't have any employees except the partners we're not required to have any of the DOL postings, so we disregarded the call. After repeated hounding we checked with the DOL's website and managed to get the posters for free, they now take up space in the utility room. Still getting calls ~2 months on, many hang up calls as well. We were threatened this week with an FBI raid if we didn't pay up, but the raid is still not forthcoming.

I received a call from the "Federal Compliance Office" today telling me as a new business I needed to be in compliance with federal laws yada, yada, yada.. Same stories as above. The Woman told me as a new business I would qualify for a 100% tax deductible and that the amount would be $98.00 payable via credit card... I told her I was out to lunch and to give me a call back number and when I googled it I ended up here.. Looks like a letter to my State AG is going in the mail tomorrow..

Just got the same call as the above posts, Feder Compliance Office, when I asked how she got my information since my business wasn't even open yet, she said it automatically populates to their call list.  Being hesitant I decided to tell her I'd call back... glad I googled the number!!!  I'll tell them a thing or two next time they call!!!

Caller: Federal Labor Laws

They asked that I send money to them for posters.
I told them to call back after I spoke to my lawyer.

Just got that call. "I'm calling from the Federal Compliance Division. $99 for some posters...?! At that point I said no.

I have been avoiding these toll-free calls for years. I answered because I was in the kind of mood to have a sparring match with the telemarketer. She identified herself as Agent # whatever with the Labor Compliance Department. I asked her if she was an employee of the federal government. After hesitation - she said "no, but we're affiliated." So I said, "So then if I call the US department of Labor they will tell me to call you for posters." After more hesitation, "Well not me personally." I replied, "Of course not - but your company, correct."  Her reply, "Well no." I then said, "I believe I can get those posters anywhere, correct?" She then tried to tell me I was not allowed to print them on my computer (lie), or order them from somewhere else (lie) or get them from Staples (lie) that I will be fined and possibly shut down. Wow. So then I asked her if her company was a for-profit organization, she didn't answer. Then I repeated my question and she told me that she was sure her company didn't make any money on the posters. You get the point. After 10 minutes I told her to never call here again. I'm sure that worked and I won't get another call for at least two more hours.

I got the same "I'm an authority on the law" type attitude from them.  When I wouldn't give them any information, the woman got an attitude and I simple hung up on her.  She wanted my business credit card #.  Scam.

Just as above.
Got a call from Chris (agent 408) saying she was with the Federal Labor Law Agency, I wasn't in compliance and I need to pay $98 for posters that I MUST have displayed.

After going through the information, I said send me the posters and bill me later. Apparently they only take credit cards. Unfortunately for this scammer, I don't give credit card information over the phone to incoming callers.

Took her name and number (888-242-1185). Said I would call back if I can find my credit cards.
Found here what I thought.....it's a scam.

Awful how people can do this. She sounds very official and really makes you think she's with the government.

Thank you for this.  I just got a call from them today and said I was not going to pay them anything before I checked it out.

I just got a call from US Compliance office saying that i needed to pay 179.95 for come posting that I needed to have displayed in case inspectors will come and inspect our business. She was very concern about how I was paying for this, credit card AHC, etc...I didn't like it so i told her i didnt have my wallet and i will call her back...she insisted to wait for me to get my wallet...i told her i was out of town and it was taking me more than an hour to get it...she then told me to call her back with a payment source that way she can process all the paperwork needed...BULL!!! i asked people around and they didnt see a point of paying for those form, which i already have in file!!

I am getting calls from this phone number.  They just hang up after I answer!!!!  Happening at least 3 times a day.  Sometimes many times a day!

This Federal Compliance Office has been hounding our company since we got a new phone number.  The representative, Will Parker refused to give any contact information for the company, and hung up when I asked how his service differs from the Department of Labor's free provision of the posters they are trying to sell.  A previous representative who called several times finally identified herself as "Anita Madrid" and launched into a profanity laced tirade and hung up when I asked to be removed from their call list.

Anita Madrid called us too! She called and said she wanted to speak to my husband, who is the "boss". We own the company, and ironically enough, I just called to check on these stupid posters 2-3 weeks ago! No way am I buying posters, LAMINATED that don't even serve a need in our facility, AND, I posted what IS needed from the FEDERAL GOV. website. This was in response to a mail out that said we could get all things we need for under $10!  I asked who she was with, and she said she was single. She asked if my husband was in or not, so I was ready to spit nails! I asked one last time what company she was with and she hung up. PATHETIC!! Thank you previous poster for letting me know who this moron is. The company is Personnel Concepts. Watch out. They are harassing you if you do not buy from them, as we did NOT! Anita Madrid won't call again if she knows what's good for her!

Why are we so concerned with the telemarketer it's a job they don't own the company if you don't like it hang up ,you should be more concerned with the 3 credit score company's that are for profit making money on ruining people's life's ,if they are being paid to report bad credit don't you think that's what they would want to do .? Who ever made that system should be hung

You're pissing up the wrong rope here, Sara. This isn't about telemarketers it's about crooks impersonating federal agents.

We do, however, have a right to be concerned with telemarketers if we want and to treat unwanted callers they same way we treat unwanted physical intruders in our homes.

As for the credit score companies making a profit from ruining people's lives, I suggest you get a larger tinfoil hat because your current one is clearly too tight.

Look! It's 'blame the victim' time. Telemarketers don't own the company? Isn't that like saying the guy who drove the getaway car didn't rob the bank?

So how long have you worked for this outfit Sarah? Credit scores have nothing to do with this thread either, how off topic can you get there schrolly?

Said they were from Federal compliance office
