Gravenhurst residents were livid when they realized they had been scammed for 11!!! years out of $300K!!!.
What other “mistakes” are on our tax bills?
And have been for many years?
Some scammers use their authority to intimidate and scam residents.
Don’t assume anything they tell you is legal.
Fight back.
WORST group of people our neighbourhoods have ever come across.
Scammers are everywhere.
Official looking letters and bills can also be scams.
Check out the videos of the scammers in action at the website link referenced. Unbelievable.
They blamed residents!! for not noticing their error.
And were only going to refund the few who noticed the error.
Not all 63 properties they knew they owed refunds.
Not even a slap on the wrist. A benefit of paying millions to the local OPP.
