Kane County Sheriff’s Office Warns of Jury Duty Scam

​

The Kane County Sheriff's Office has been made aware of a scam involving jury duty, where scammers call citizens claiming they have missed jury duty using Kane County deputy names and telephone numbers. The scammers inform citizens that they will be arrested unless they comply with specific instructions and provide money.

As a reminder, the Kane County Sheriff's Office will never contact citizens via telephone and threaten them with arrest for missing jury duty without proper notification through the court system. We will also never ask for money!

Do not fall for this scam, even if the scammers use real Kane County deputy names and telephone numbers. If you have questions about missing jury duty or not receiving a jury selection questionnaire, please contact the Kane County Jury Commission:

The Jury Commission is open Monday through Friday (excluding federal and/or court holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. During business hours, jurors may call (630) 232-3466 to speak with the Jury Commission or leave a voicemail.

The Jury Commission address is: Kane County Courthouse 100 South Third Street - Suite 230 Geneva, Illinois 60134​
