Government Compliance:
One company played on fear of the government by sending out unsolicited faxes and direct mail in an attempt to sell their grossly overpriced posters used for displaying government regulations to employees. These contained information that must be posted in offices stating the correct minimum wage and other state and federal requirements.  Such companies use scare tactics such as, "if your company does not display this compliance poster, it will face a fine of $5,000. Another scare tactic is the claim that they have insurance against errors in the posters.
