(KNZA)--Reputable agencies will not make phone calls inquiring about a person’s vaccination status.
That word is delivered in a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant who says his office has received reports from citizens who “have been receiving phone calls from someone representing themselves as information centers for COVID compliance.”
According to Merchant, those who receive such calls are informed that “they are taking a survey to see if they have been vaccinated, what vaccination taken, when taken, side effects, and concerns or comments.”
Merchant points out that caller IDs read “unavailable” or “scam” when such calls are received, adding that hanging up if the phone call is received is the best bet to keep from supplying personal information to the suspicious caller.
