Scammers are contacting taxpayers while pretending to be from the Michigan Department of Treasury, using out‑of‑state phone numbers. They may request payments or attempt to trick you into providing your bank account information. Always verify the source before sharing any personal or financial details.
What should I do if my name is incorrect on my check/draft?
You may be able to cash the check or submit the draft to the heat provider.
If your financial institution or heat provider will not accept the check/draft, write "Void" across the front and return it to the Michigan Department of Treasury. Include a letter of explanation and a copy of your driver's license/government issued picture ID showing your correct/new name.
