Our company received a call from these SCAM ARTISTS this morning at 0955 hrs.  The woman identified herself as Melissa Strom and rattled something off about workplace compliance, OSHA, and audit.  Yes, she clearly said "audit."  She was obviously trying to give the impression that OSHA would be auditing our business and our OSHA-required poster(s) were out-of-date.  When I expressed my skepticism and told her I was wary she was a scam artist, she chuckled and said she wished that was true because then she'd be better paid.  Nice touch that, hinting that she is an underpaid Federal employee.  I went several minutes of going around and around with this woman with me trying to sniff out whether or not is was a scam and her telling me that our company hadn't received any recent posters (which is true because the posters aren't issued every year and we never received posters from these people).  In the meantime, my fingers were typing away to bring up this site and lo-and-behold! my suspicions were confirmed.  I told her, you're not from OSHA (she immediately protested that she never said she was (she was merely implying it really, really hard.)) I continued, "You're in Florida, which is the scam 'capital' of the world.  You're trying to bill us for hundreds of dollars for posters that are available for free.  {Bleep} you!  You're a scam artist!" and promptly slammed down the phone.

They just called me - I answered and the gentleman asked to speak to a manager.  I told him this was a private residence and that he had the wrong number.  He said he was sorry, thanked me and told me to have a terriffic day.  He was very nice.

Definitely a scam.  You can get OSHA posters free of charge at their site - here is what they say:

https://www.osha.gov/Publications/workplace_poster_page.html

We continue to learn of complaints from employers who have received "official looking" announcements and -- in some cases -- threatening notices, messages, or telephone calls from various companies requiring that employers purchase OSHA documents from them in order to remain in compliance with OSHA rules and regulations. The most popular document being offered for sale is the OSHA Workplace Poster (also available in Spanish). We have also learned of a few cases in which individuals, falsely identifying themselves as Department of Labor or OSHA employees, contact employers threatening fines if they do not purchase specific materials.

It's important that all employers do not become victim of misleading solicitation practices or incur unnecessary costs where these resources are concerned.

OSHA's publications and posters are available free to anyone who asks simply by visiting the publications page on the agency's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.html. The publications, posters, fact sheets, etc., can be ordered through the publications office or, in most cases, downloaded directly from the Web site.

As a reminder, employers are required to continually display a poster prepared by the Department of Labor that informs employees of protections afforded under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees can view it. Private employers may use the poster available from OSHA's Web site, or a suitable reproduction or facsimile.

You can contact any OSHA area office throughout the nation to report a misleading solicitation, or to get information on specific workplace safety and health requirements. Those office addresses and phone numbers are available on the agency's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/html/RAmap.html.

OSHA updates its Web site daily. We invite you to refer to it often for important information about workplace safety and health.

Caller ID showed "Unknown name."

OSHA poster scam.  Offered to send out OSHA compliance posters, logbooks, etc, never mentioning a price until I asked them if they were going to charge us for them.  She said they would send an invoice.  I told them to stop right there, I wasn't interested because we get OSHA materials for free, and to take our number off their list.

A total scammer.  She asked for the manager.  I asked for the managers name whe wanted and then I asked her what she was selling.  She asked for the manager again and I asked what she was selling again.  She asked do I always answer the phone this way.  I answered only for idiots like her.  She called me an assholke and hung up.  Ha I got to her quickly.
No governmental agencies make cold calls or any calls like this.

They tried to indicate that they were with Osha.  When I questioned her, she was very defensive.  At the end of the call, she said good luck with your audit.
