OLYMPIA, Wash. — Attorney General Bob Ferguson is suing a Michigan company accused of defrauding thousands of small businesses in Washington state.
The business, Labor Law Poster Service, is run by three brothers. In a press release detailing the lawsuit, Ferguson says the schemes have varied, but all involve deceptive solicitations “giving the false impression that they are mandatory bills from a government agency.”
This is the same company that the Attorney General’s office investigated in 2008. In that case, the Michigan brothers – Joseph, Thomas and Steven Fata – were required to clearly disclose on its solicitations that it is not a government agency, nor is it affiliated with the government.
