Coronavirus scam circulating in Cass County

Unfortunately, there are multiple phone scams going around Cass County and the state regarding COVID-19.

Some scammers are posing as the Cass County Health Department to tell people they've been exposed to a person with the virus and asking them to get tested or give credit card information over the phone to purchase a home test.

Home tests for COVID-19 do not exist and you should NEVER give your credit card information out over the phone.

Exercise caution with any call you get. If you are ever unsure if a call is from a legitimate source, you are urged to hang up, look up the actual phone number listed (online, phone book) and call that number.

For reference, the Cass County Health Department's phone number is 816-380-8425.
