Is this a scam?
No, it isn't a scam. We are trying to get funds back in the hands of the payee. We are not asking for personal information for you to get your funds. We do require a response from you to reissue the check. If you are uncomfortable responding, the funds will be sent to the state, and you can claim it from there once reported.
