Personnel Concepts, PCI - Compliance Service Department Fraudulent letters stating that a business will be find by the U.S. Government for not complying with labor law posters. Pomona California

 OK if they want to continue sending out scam letters. This is what each and everyone can do. These people always send out a postage paid envelope with their letter. Take a blank. Piece of paper and write or type scam. Or better yet put some monopoly money in it.( you know from the monopoly game) the post office charge the company for these postage paid envelopes so by mailing them back you are costing them money at the same time giving them fake monopoly money to ensure them you are well aware of their scam.

I too received this foolish mail at my place of business. what got me suspicious is that it came from California and i knew California has nothing to do with the labor laws here in Tennessee. So i was familiar with ripoff report and looked them up and sure enough i see others on ere getting the same counterfeit mail. They tried to make it look like it came from the state of  Tennessee.  I contacted the state myslef and was told that i could download these posters free and was direted to the site. These people are trying to take advantage of small businesses and anyone who make act quickly and send them money without fully examining it first. Here it is 2015 and they sare still at their con game. obviously it's still working for them because they are hoping to keep blitzkreiging the mailing system of each state until they find all the suckers who will pay them.

i took a photo of the letter and sent it to my business partners alerting them to be on the look out for this so called company. they also have  forwarded it to their business connections as well. This is how we all can hurt these scammers by posting on this site and even creating a blog and reporting them to the state where you live.

also ignore the rebuttals they post here. let it fall on deaf ears. they are trying to counteract solid evidence that they are out to scam others by trying to justify their actions. obviously rip off report is doing a good job in exposing them as well.

Rebuttal to Ben the Employee of Personnel Concepts:

FIRST CLUE: I am not now, nor have I ever been a business owner or had employees and yet I just received an IMPORTANT NOTICE from your company that looked like it's from the IRS.

Your marketing practices may be legal (I don't know if they are legal, nor do I care) but they are unethical in that the envelopes at least, mimic government envelopes used for income tax correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service.

As soon as I realized it wasn't from the IRS and Googled the business name before opening the envelope - that's how I ended up here.

The enclosed "invoice" is misleading since it's designed to look like an actual invoice, but is not an invoice.

LOL, nice touch with the pin holes on the side, but lose points for no perforation next to the strip as would be on a genuine invoice that's been printed on old school dot matrix pinfed machine.

LOL @ the yellow imitation customer "carbon copy".

In tiny, miniscule low contrast black typeface on dark blue background, it states "Our firm is a non-government publisher..."   and lower still "This is not an invoice. You are under no obliation to pay."

Your shady marketing practice is just that: shady. It's designed to intimdate, mislead and take advantage eager business owners who want to do the right thing and remain in complaince with all government laws.

Shame on you.

I wrote the original rip off report.  I still get letters from them stating I am violation for not buying their posters.

The posters and guidelines are available, free, from the appropriate government agency. 

like you, the back side of my paper was blank.  Truly misleading.

I got this notice today..So this is a scam,wow i  usually  get phone calls not letters...Buy a poster to be compliant or get a fine of 17grand...That sounds far fetch to me..

 Legal however unethical in ways you represent your product.
My Niece, who revently immigrated and brought 100's of thousands from her country to the USA to open her business was easily fooled, your information is so blantantly misleading that at first look 
I was misled,  I am natural born US Citizen, very educated. 
I would be very surprised if any who purchased your materials were not fooled, and with the range of direct mail advertising your company undoubtly makes millions from this scam.

I have called Personal Concepts on 5 occasions in the last 3 years (all documented). I have repeatedly asked nicely to have my "CLOSED" company name removed from their "Threatening" and "Mis-leading" mailers. Each time I called I CLEARLY told them my company is CLOSED and is NO LONGER in business, they tell me they will remove me from their database and the ask me to wait 6 to 8 weeks (2 months) for the mailers to stop harassing me.

I don't understand why they lie to me and tell me they will remove me when in fact they NEVER remove me. It is 3 YEARS now since my company closed and for 3 years now that I have asked them to stop sending me these annoying notices but yet they keep coming. 5 months ago I spoke to "Carl" and he SWORE to me that I would be removed and I would never get another letter from them AFTER 8 weeks.... I waited the 8 weeks and the mailers just kept coming.. I have a pile of them here.

Today I spoke to a "Luis" and he also told me that it would stop and he continued to explain to me that they made database changes about 5 months ago and that is why I am still on their list. He also explained to me that he sees 2 accounts for me in their system. Little did he know that I have a recorded conversation from "Carl" 5 months ago telling me the EXACT same thing about 2 accounts. So it seems to me that this is their story they use. I also informed "Luis" that I was also recording the conversation as well.

I have decided to wait the 6 to 8 weeks once again, but this time I just called my attorney and asked him to send them a strong letter letting them know I am going to sue them for Harassment if I receive one more mailer after April 1st, 2012. My lawyer told me that if they continue it "could" be considered a federal offense because they are using US MAIL (government mail box) to harass me.

I would STRONGLY suggest you use another company because these guys will NEVER let your name out of their system. AND reading the posts above, you CAN get the Notices for FREE so there is no point even getting involved with these guys at all.

If you really want to pay for something you can get for free... just call me.. I'm selling AIR real cheap !

Personnel Concepts has always informed consumers the posters they advertise are available from the government for free. If one chooses, they may read only one side of the mailer received, but it's recommended they read both sides. On the back side of every mailer titled FINAL NOTICE (and several other titles) on the front side, there are nine benefits of the labor law posters Personnel Concepts provides. Below that section a disclaimer is provided:


"AIO Acquistion, Inc. (dba Personnel Concepts) is a non-government compliance firm and a wholly owned subsidiary of AIO Holding Inc.

Our All-On-One compliance systems, Membership Subscription Service, and Space Saver All-On-One posters are copyrighted material. Notices are available free from the government; we do not sell or provide individual government posters...."


The message conveyed by these mailings informs a consumer if they are not posting all of the state, federal, and osha posters, SPECIFIC as to the needs of their business then they can be subject to those fines and lawsuits.

Personnel Concepts offers a product and a service. While most consumers feel they are in compliance with their state's laws and osha requirements several are not. Instead of spending lots of time contacting every agency, and speaking to someone at that agency who is not trained in your company's specific needs, Personnel Concepts provides you this research in a quick, time saving format. In addition, as mandatory changes occur, Personnel Concepts will contact your business year around, whereas government agencies will not. It is the responsibility of the business to be in compliance, and the government will not do your work.

Personnel Concepts does not advertise non-mandatory government compliance changes or requirements. We advertise only mandatory compliance changes or products that offer solutions or tools that will aid a business in meeting compliance needs as written and required in law.

If a consumer wishes not to receive mail or any advertisement from Personnel Concepts they should contact us directly at 800-333-3795, select option 2 and inform a customer service representative.

The posters you are selling are free from the government agencies involved. Some can be printed directly from the agency website and others must be ordered by phone or mail, but they are free. If you aren't certain which posters your business requires, contact OSHA, the Department of Labor, etc., Federal and State level.
