Fake “Michigan DMV” Scams

The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office warns local residents about a new scam targeting drivers. Scammers are pretending to be from the “Michigan DMV,” but Michigan doesn’t have a DMV—driver services are handled by the Secretary of State. These scammers call or text, claiming urgent issues with your license or registration, asking for personal information or payment. If you get one of these calls, hang up immediately and contact the Secretary of State’s Office to verify. Stay alert to protect your personal information.
