Indiana State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla is alerting Hoosiers to a mailing involving letters falsely claiming to be from the Comptroller’s Office. Correspondence bearing official-looking logos is being sent to individuals and business owners, requesting immediate action.
“An entity posing as the State Comptroller’s Office is dishonest and violates the public’s trust,” said Comptroller Nieshalla, “I want to ensure all Hoosiers are aware of these attempts and how to recognize a legitimate communication from our office to best protect themselves.”
What you need to know: The Comptroller’s Office will never request personal payments by mail. Legitimate mail from the Office will always include the official State seal (the Comptroller’s Office does not have its own logo), a return address from 200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN, and contact information for verification.
If you receive suspicious mail claiming to be from the Comptroller’s Office, do not respond or send money. Verify the mail by contacting the Comptroller’s Office directly at comments@comptroller.in.gov or 317-232-3300. You can report suspected fraud to the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at in.gov/attorneygeneral
