We are once again receiving reports of suspicious text messages being sent to residents. These messages attempt to prey on fear by threatening legal or collection action against the recipient and referencing a fake statute, listed as:
“Illinois Administrative Code, Section 15C‑16.003.”
This statute does not exist.
If you receive one of these messages:
• Do not respond.
• Do not click any links.
• Block the sender immediately.
These messages are designed to trick you into providing personal information or accessing malicious websites. Staying alert and avoiding interaction is the best way to protect yourself.
If you have concerns or believe you may have interacted with one of these messages, please contact us so we can assist you.
Below is an example of these messages:
