BOGUS PROPERTY TAX RELIEF SCAM

The Oregon Attorney General’s office is warning Oregon property owners about a California company flooding the mail with bogus property tax relief notices.  The mailings contain official-sounding phrases like, ‘regional processing center’, and, ‘2010 property tax reduction form’.  The company offers to attempt to lower property taxes for a $189 fee.  The AG’s office says anyone can do that for free at any county Assessor’s office.  If you have sent money to the scammers, call the Oregon Consumer Hotline at 1-877-877-9392.
