WARNING-JUROR AFFIDAVIT SCHEME


It is been reported that residents of McHenry County may be receiving false juror affidavits seeking personal information as part of a multicounty identity theft scam.

The Twenty Second Judicial Circuit of McHenry County Jury Commission Office routinely mails potential jurors affidavits seeking specific information to qualify jurors.  The Twenty Second Judicial Circuit does not ask for a social security number on a juror questionnaire.

If you receive a document resembling a juror affidavit asking for personal information beyond basic identifying information; such as asking for your social security number, contact your local law enforcement agency.

Any official juror correspondence mailed from the McHenry County Jury Commission Office requesting information about your jury service should be returned to the McHenry County Jury Assembly Office at 2200 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock, IL 60098.

If you receive any documents requesting that you send information to a different address, contact your local law enforcement agency.  If you have questions regarding any correspondence from the McHenry County Jury Commission Office, please contact their office at 815-334-4390.
