AGC Members have once again reported receiving unwanted and unsolicited solicitation faxes from the "AMERICAN GENERAL CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION" (AGC ASSOCIATION). They are again circulating the Associate Dues Application that we began seeing in November 2010. These faxes have been reported by members across the country and are again causing great confusion.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NEITHER AGC OF AMERICA NOR ANY OF ITS CHAPTERS IS THE SOURCE OF THIS SOLICITATION.

Indeed, neither has any affiliation of any kind with this largely unknown, confusing and persistent organization. To file an FCC complaint specific to this unwanted and unsolicited fax to your home or business, go to click here or go to http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm and follow the instructions for a junk fax complaint.

In the past, AGC of America has written to this organization, insisting that it cease and desist from any further use of its confusing language. More recently, we have also opened a line of communication with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which has expressed an interest in investigating whether these solicitations are in violation of federal laws prohibiting mail fraud.

Again, please understand that this is NOT an AGC invoice and you should be careful in responding to the fax and providing money to this inquiry. For an example of these faxes, click here.

Please contact Cheryl Stewart at (509) 535-0391 with any questions. If you have been a victim of this scam and unknowingly paid dues to this outfit, please let me know as soon as possible. The goal is to persuade the federal investigators that this problem is big enough to deserve their time and attention.
