Warn your clients today about this Tax Reassessment SCAM!
Published by Scott Gill under General.
Anyone can be scammed; and although I have a pretty good nose for these things, I almost got caught by this one.
A very official notice was mailed to me late last week that indicated that I could save $2,706.28 in property taxes by requesting that my property be reassessed due to its decline in valuation. The letter has very specific details on my home including the Assessors ID Number. It goes on to say that they will handle all the filings with the County Assessors offices for me for only $179.00 service fee. Further, if the reassessment wasn’t granted they would refund the fee. It seemed like a very inexpensive way to get this done. Who has time filing papers? Just as I was ready to write a check, I paused for a moment and decided to research this on Google. I found out that this is a scam. A great article was written on this particular scam by Broderick Perkins (Examiner.com).
