Union County, Ill. – Union County authorities are warning residents of a phone scam.

The State’s Attorney’s office says Justin Cobb claims to be affiliated with the office and calls people to tell them they owe money for failing to show up for jury duty. Authorities say Cobb urges the citizen to wire money or obtain a money card to pay off the fine.

Anyone who feels they may have been targeted should call (618) 833-7216.
