2009: UCAN has copies of letters being issued throughout CA that look almost identical except the company name and sometimes, the PO Box & phone #. Please see Tax Reassessment Letter Scam Info sent by the Los Angeles Dept of Consumer Affairs. UCAN was advised to tell you that if you are a victim within the County of L.A. call (800) 973-3370, and if you're a victim outside the County, call (213) 974-1452 and select #3 at the prompt. The complaint form can be found at this link - http://www.dca.lacounty.gov/Forms/CAComplaint.pdf.

If you received and paid the San Diego based company (with the San Diego phone # on the letter), contact the San Diego City Attorney. No matter where you live, if you received a letter from an L.A. based company, follow instructions from the Los Angeles Dept. of Consumer Affairs. If you received and paid another company, contact the Attorney General. The California Attorney General's Office is taking all other complaints relating to other California companies that purport to assist consumers with filing the necessary paperwork to obtain a reassessment on their property value for tax purposes. Complainants can contact the California Attorney General's Office Public Inquiry Unit at (800) 952-5225.

2008 Blog: "Tax Reassessment Scam Hits San Diego" and UCAN wanted you to be aware: Have you been contacted by a company that is offering to reassess the value of your property for a fee? Consumers should be aware the county will reassess property value for free. The company has a P.O. Box and goes by the name of "Property Tax Reassessment." The notice looks like it's an official government notification but it's not. If you have received a notice from this organization or another like company, did you ignore it, try to contact someone with the company or pay the fee? UCAN has received several calls from people who have received this notice.
