RE: Bogus EPA Lead Paint Violation email
Many remodelers and other members around the state are receiving an email on the EPA lead paint regulations with the subject line “Violation.”
The email goes on to say “According to our data, your company does not have the required EPA Lead Paint forms needed for work/renovations of homes built prior to 1978.”
This is just the latest in a long string of scam emails and letters being sent out by companies in hopes of scaring contractors into buying their products. In this case the spurious email comes from a company called “Lead Paint Forms Store” and clicking on the link in the email takes you to their website where you can remedy your “violation” by purchasing their products.
These type of scams where a contractor is notified that according to someone’s data/records your company does not have the forms/signs/anything else needed to comply with the law are all too common and should always be ignored.
