The Michigan Department of Treasury is warning people about a new scam involving the federal government paying outstanding debts.
The scam suggests the federal government will pay any outstanding state tax or other state debts.
As part of the scam, groups hold seminars fraudulently teaching attendees to use routing numbers from two US Department of Treasury bureaus and their social security numbers to resolve debts.
Anyone who thinks they may have an outstanding state debt is asked to call the State Treasury Department's Office of Collections at 517-636-5265.
