Homestead Declaration Bureau, Inc. Reviews
This scammer mails new home owners a "Declaration of Homestead Request Form", which instructs that you pay $28 to:
HOMESTEAD DECLARATION BUREAU INC.
PO Box 95162, Las Vegas, NV 89193-5162
or
3315 E RUSSEL RD STE A4-223
or
Any new postal box this scammer rotates in order to try and switch identities
The $28 is for filling out a form, then you pay the real county the actual fee when they mail you back a pre-filled form so you can send it yourself.
They do not accept credit cards for payment, as you can do charge backs. They only accept checks. A smart scammer move.
Research that company in google and you will see many reports from BBB complaints to local news reporting on that scam.
