Employment Scams

We have noticed an increase in employment scams. These companies claim that they have received a Certificate of Ownership of Business from our office. Apparently, they send out emails stating an interest in hiring individuals and would like you to contact them and possibly fill out an application.

These are attempts to get your personal information.

If you would like to verify the legitimacy of a Certificate of Business issued by Champaign County before pursuing a new job opportunity, please contact our office at (217) 384-3720.

For information on incorporated businesses contact the Illinois Secretary of State.
