The Kane County state’s attorney and the Kane County sheriff are warning residents about a fake website that purports to be the site of the county treasurer.

Officials are warning residents not to make any payments through the fake site.

The authentic Kane County treasurer’s website, found at www.kanecountytreasurer.org, has Treasurer Chris Lauzen pictured in the upper left, officials said.

In addition, the tab to make an online payment has the county seal in the upper left, the treasurer’s office address and telephone number in the upper right and users must click on a terms of use agreement before they can search for their tax bill or make a payment.

Kane County sheriff’s investigators are looking into the fake site. Anyone with information about the fake site is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 630-444-1103.
