News You Can Use
Diana O'Kelly, Township Supervisor
|
|
Residents are receiving calls from a male identifying himself as a Lake County Deputy Sheriff, informing the person that they have missed a jury duty summons and need to come to the County Courthouse in Waukegan immediately. He also tells them to call him back when they are leaving their residence. This is not a Sheriff Deputy!!!
The Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court’s Jury Commission office does not contact any potential juror by telephone. All communication by their office is sent via US mail on official circuit letterhead. If a citizen needs to verify their jury summons, please contact the Lake County Jury Commission Office at 847-377- 4600 or by email at
jury@lakecountyil.gov
.”
Below are suggested safeguards, if you should receive a similar call regarding this Jury Duty Scam.
1. Do Not provide any personal information;
2. Do Not tell when you leave your residence;
3. Document the number calling along with any information about the call;
4. Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency as soon as possible.
