The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a wave of new scams hitting the area. Some people have gotten postcards promising “unclaimed rewards” of over $100 — but it’s a trick to steal credit card or banking info. Teens are also being targeted with fake, AI‑generated nude photos and threats for payment, sometimes in Bitcoin. And with tax season here, scammers posing as the IRS are pressuring people to pay through calls or texts. Deputies urge everyone to verify the source, and report any suspicious messages.

St. Clair County families now have an easier way to file vaccine exemptions. The County Health Department has launched Michigan’s first fully online certification system for non-medical immunization waivers. Instead of making a trip to the office, parents can complete the education and submit forms at scchealth.co. Once done, a certified exemption is emailed within five days. County health leaders say the change removes barriers while respecting family choice and state law. Walk-in help remains available for those who prefer in-person support.
