In Saginaw County, Michigan, The Saginaw News and Newhouse News Service report:

• [P]olice and Saginaw County sheriff's deputies have received at least three reports of people approaching home owners whose taxes are in arrears and asking for payments of Saginaw County taxes, sheriff's Lt. Mark Garabelli said.

• Investigators have yet to obtain a description of the man-woman duo in Saginaw County. Police only know that they are white, and they show up at residences that have unpaid tax balances. [...] "It sounds like they are telling the people that if they don't have the full amount owed, just give them some of the money and they will not foreclose right now," Garabelli said.
