Another scam designed to part honest, hardworking people from their money has cropped up here in San Bernardino County. Managing editor Tami Roleff puts out this warning about the assessor’s scam.
The San Bernardino County Assessor’s office is warning the public about multiple reports of suspicious activity. People are knocking door-to-door and claiming to be “Assessor Representatives” without providing proper identification. Staff from the Assessor’s office will always produce proper identification. Assessor staff conduct inspections solely for assessment purposes. The District Attorney’s office and local law enforcement have been notified of these events. If you encounter a situation where someone represents themselves as an Assessor employee and you have any doubts, call the San Bernardino County Assessor’s Office at 877-885-7654.
