Authorities say the fraudulent messages are being sent through multiple channels, including phone calls, text messages, emails, and mailed notices. The communications claim recipients have a “notice of default” tied to an unpaid traffic violation and demand immediate payment.
Officials emphasize the messages are not legitimate and are part of a scam designed to collect money or personal information. Residents are advised not to respond, send payments, or share sensitive details.
Anyone who receives a suspicious message is encouraged to verify the claim directly with the City of Detroit Civil Division using official contact information. Law enforcement also recommends reporting suspected scams to local authorities.
