Hello XXXXXXX, This is the information I was able to find about the company you mentioned: "Attorney General Terry Goddard announced Friday that he has filed a lawsuit and obtained a temporary restraining order to stop the perpetrators of an alleged fraud that claimed a homeowner's property qualified for a "property tax reduction review." •Read: Example Of Bogus Property Tax Reduction Form The lawsuit names Property Tax Review Board, Inc., a Granada Hill, Calif.-based company; Property Tax Review Board's President and CEO Michael McConville, of Simi Valley, Calif., and Carmen Mercer, of Tombstone, owner of the Post Office box included in the solicitation. "This solicitation appears to be an attempt to scam homeowners who are looking to reduce their property tax bill," Goddard said. The solicitation, which requests a $189 processing fee, is not affiliated with any government entity, Goddard said. The document attempts to appear official and contains a “notice number” and deadline for prompt processing. Assessed valuations for 2009 cannot be changed since the appeals process for 2009 has ended, Goddard said. "In addition, there is no fee required to file a property valuation appeal with county treasurers’ or assessors’ offices in Arizona," he added. Please notified the State of California’s Department of Consumer Affairs office about it. I hope this information is helpful,
