Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is urging inmates and their families to be cautious following reports of fraudulent emails sent through JPay – a platform that allows family and friends to send electronic messages to incarcerated individuals – including emails claiming to be from the attorney general. These emails falsely claim to support specific individuals who purport they can secure the release of prisoners.
Nessel and the Department of Attorney General do not send emails directly to inmates. Before taking action on an email they receive through JPay, the attorney general recommends inmates verify the sender, consult their legal counsel, never send funds based solely on an email, and report suspicious messages to their facility.
