Don’t do it!!!!! This is a scam. I was privileged to be at a real estate renewal class today. Our guest speaker was Terry Goddard, Arizona’s State Attorney General. A very informative class on Fair Housing Law. During part of his presentation he brought this latest fraud scheme to our attention…and indicated that it is currently one of his Fraud Division’s top priorities.
In order to contest your 2009 property tax bill, you would have to have done it by the end of April, 2008…that’s right…2008!!! In fact, in order to contest your 2010 Property Evaluation, you would have had to have done so by April 30, 2009.
So if you have received one of these letters, contact the Arizona Attorney Generals office at www.azag.gov or call 800-352-8431. If you unwittingly sent this group $189 chances are you will get it back…the AG’s office was able to identify the culprits…and the Postmaster of the post office box is collecting all of the “blue” envelopes and should be returning them to you…but you should still call the AG’s office to report your incident.
