📣SCAM WARNING - SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! 📣
There's a current phone scam that has targeted a few Will County residents where the caller is pretending to be a member of the Will County Sheriff's Office and even provided a badge number. The scam caller tells the victims that a loved one is in custody, or they themselves failed to appear in court or missed jury duty.

The scammer then tells the victims to either download an app and send money through it using a reloadable gift card or make Bitcoin deposits for bond fees and/or administrative fees.

THIS IS IN NO WAY HOW THE WILL COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE OPERATES. We will never ask you for funds over the phone like this or ask you to use a gift card or Bitcoin for payment.

Call your local police department if you think you've been scammed and STAY VIGILANT!
