PEORIA COUNTY2+ weeks agoAgencySCAM ALERT! The Peoria County Treasurer's Office has been made aware of scam letters that have been delivered in the area claiming that the recipients' taxes have not been paid in full. The letter (seen here) is not an official Peoria County communication despite having our name on the top. There are a few ways to tell that this is a scam: 1.) The letter uses scare tactics combined with a sense of urgency, such as the instructions to act on a debt within only a few days of the letter being sent. 2.) The phone number on the letter can't be found on any official Peoria County materials, such as our website. 3.) The letter does not have any sort of address to visit or send physical materials to, such as the Peoria County Courthouse. If you believe you may be seeing a scam in action, you can report it to the Peoria County Victim Services Coordinator at (309) 697-7855 during regular business hours.29Like20
