LENAWEE CO. — Residents are being warned about a scam involving messages falsely claiming to be from the City of Detroit or Wayne County.
Officials say people have reported receiving mail, emails, texts, and phone calls stating there is a “notice of default” tied to an unpaid traffic violation, along with demands for payment.
Authorities emphasize these messages are not legitimate and are part of a scam. Residents are advised not to send money or share personal information in response.
Anyone who receives a suspicious notice is encouraged to verify it directly through official city contacts.
Officials also remind the public to stay alert and report potential scams to local law enforcement.
