JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri Treasurer Clint Zweifel is warning people to watch out for e-mails telling them that his office may have some unclaimed property for them.
Zweifel says someone has been sending e-mails posing as an assistant state treasurer and attempting to obtain personal information so that unclaimed property can be returned.
He says his office never sends unsolicited e-mails regarding its unclaimed property unit.
Zweifel says the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Federal Trade Commission have been notified about the scam.
