Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has issued a public warning to state prison inmates and their families regarding a series of fraudulent emails circulating through JPay, the electronic messaging platform used within correctional facilities.
The scam involves messages falsely claiming to originate from the Department of Attorney General, asserting support for specific individuals who claim they possess the ability to secure the release of prisoners.
The Attorney General’s office emphasized that it does not send direct email communications to inmates. State officials advise inmates to verify the identity of senders before acting on any JPay messages, consult with their legal counsel, and refrain from sending funds based solely on email correspondence.
