Chicagoland - Is MyHomeRefund a Scam ?
Hi all
I own a property in Chicago w/ tenants currently living there. There was a piece of mail that was delivered to the unit addressed to me from MyHomeRefund . See attached picture that my tenant sent me. The cover says it's Re: a Property Tax Refund of $1356. First of all, I am out of state and will require a bit of coordination to get this mail, (which is totally fine) but before I go through this hassle, I am wondering if this is a scam or if anyone has had experience with receiving a similar mail? It looks like this is a business that identifies if property owners have overpaid on taxes and then helps you recover it. Their fee based on the website is 33%.
