AG’s Office wins $8.2M in penalties and consumer restitution in trial against repeat scammer

Michigan defendants mailed nearly 600,000 deceptive solicitations for workplace posters to Washington businesses

SEATTLE — A Michigan-based scammer that has been deceiving businesses for years was ordered to pay more than $8.2 million in penalties and consumer restitution following a lawsuit brought by the Washington State Attorney General’s Office.

Following trial against Labor Law Poster Service and two of its principals, King County Superior Court Judge Maureen McKee imposed a $7.4 million penalty and awarded $850,000 in consumer restitution, plus interest, to the Attorney General’s Office. The court also ordered the defendants to pay the state’s attorney fees.

    Good luck seeing a dime. They have relocated by now. But hey, the gas tax just went up so there is that to look forward too.

    I used to be responsible for hanging the legal posters in our workplace - college educated, literate, English as a first language - and if I hadn't read the "fine" print on the state provided posters I could easily have ordered supplies from this company. I hope the state is also encouraged to use LARGER FONT with ordering information on the posters. Please provide follow up in a few months and let us know some $ has actually been paid by these fraudsters.
