Contraband Through The Mail
Apparently, it has been more of a problem for the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) than one might think.
Back in October of 2020, the Detroit Free Press (Freep) reported Michigan s correctional facilities would no longer give inmates original copies of their personal mail (ie: letters, cards, drawings, etc.) and instead give them black-and-white photocopies as a way to curb the amount of drugs coming in.
Chris Gautz, department spokesman, told Freep in October that from January to September of 2020, there were 122 instances of contraband coming through the mail, an increase from the year before.

Michigan Real Estate Agents Threatened in New Scam
There are so many scams that are going around, and it seems like there have been more then usual since the start of the pandemic. I had one just a few weeks ago. I got an email saying I was caught on camera for going over the speed limit. It wanted me to click below to pay the fine and it would not go on my driving record. It also said there would be a warrant for my arrest if I did not pay it. Now I knew is was bologna, but I wonder if a handful of people actually paid it.
