Don't Fall For This COVID-19 Text Scam

Phone Scam

Police are warning cell phone users of a new text message scam circulating during the coronavirus pandemic.

The message tells the person that they need to self-isolate because they came in contact with someone who tested positive or has shown symptoms for coronavirus. The alert also tells you to get tested.


And surprise surprise, there is a link to click on to get more info!. Do NOT click on the link.

The Better Business Bureau also says that scammers have been targeting seniors with text messages posing as the U.S. Department of Health. The message says that they need to take a mandatory online COVID-19 test in order to receive the recently approved government stimulus payment.

Just to make it clear, there is no online COVID-19 test that a person can take.
