]]> Comment on Property tax reduction “scam” making the rounds by Mimi http://jasonian.org/my-life/property-tax-reduction-scam-making-the-rounds/#comment-2168 Mimi Sun, 21 Sep 2008 06:53:10 +0000 http://jasonian.org/my-life/property-tax-reduction-scam-making-the-rounds/#comment-2168 Yes, this company Property Tax Adjusters, Inc. is a scam. They sent unsolicited mails to the home owners collecting a fee of $125 in the Silicon Valley (depends on where you live). Their return mail envelope looks exactly like from the county assessor’s office. They immediately cashed my check and before any work could start they said they would not refund my money even I don’t need their “service”. They will never refund you and county offers property reassessment for FREE. I lost $125. But I filed complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. I suggest people who are victim of this scam do the same. WATCH OUT THIS COMPANY! Yes, this company Property Tax Adjusters, Inc. is a scam.

They send unsolicited scam mail to your home with APN number on it. Their return mail envelope everything is very misleading, like from the county Assessor. They will never refund after they scammed your check when you ask your money back. Watch out to this company. We (or county or whoever is in charge) absolutely need to investigating this type of business, which has been very misleading. County re-assess properties for FREE!!

The first reason is its black and sleek design which is awesome and the second one being the vibrating call alert option with impressive battery and comfortable enought to wear indeed!

At the time, I also was involved with an online data backup company and we were negotiating with Quantum to offer the service to their customers (using exclusively Quantum tape drives at the backup server farm). Ultimately, the "don't remind them that disk drives fail" crowd won. Even more ultimately , of course, Quantum sold its drive manufacturing and kept the tape backup products. Jason,

I let my home iMac back up to the Time Capsule. My father had data loss recently, and I was able to (slowly) pull off all of the important data by bringing the computer up in FireWire disk mode. I copied it to a DVD and mailed it to him, and he just copied it on after buying a new drive.
