Scam Warning

Families in Sanilac County are being warned about a scam tied to the local jail. The Sheriff’s Office says scammers are using online inmate lists to find names, then calling relatives and falsely offering to post bond for a fee. Deputies stress this is not how the process works. Bonds are only handled through official court or jail channels, never through calls, texts, or social media. Residents should not send money or share information, and should report suspicious contact directly to the Sheriff’s Office.
