Governor Cuomo warned New Yorkers to beware of tax collection letters that appear to be government notices, but are actually solicitations from private entities. The deceptive notices are titled “state tax warrant notice” and “bank accounts and asset seizure pending.” When recipients call the toll-free number it is from a business claiming to be able to remove the debt for a fraction of the amount owed. Anyone who believes that they have been the victim of this type of scam should contact the New York State Department of Financial Services’ Consumer Help Line at 1-800-342-3736.
