Phone Scam Making Its Way Around

The Chicago Chapter of the National Safety Council reports an alleged phone scam. Their web site reports that "people claiming to be OSHA employees threaten companies with fines unless they purchase materials that will supposedly put them into compliance with OSHA requirements. In one instance, a person who says her name is Sandra Collins has claimed to be from OSHA’s Chicago North Area Office."

More information is available on the Chicago National Safety Council web page.
