Scam/Fraud Warnings:

• Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are warning the public of calls appearing to originate from CDC through caller ID, or voicemail messages saying the caller is from the CDC. Some calls are requesting donations.

• • These calls are a scam and are referred to as “government impersonation fraud,” meaning criminals are impersonating government officials for nefarious purposes.
  • Scammers are becoming more sophisticated and organized in their approach. They are technologically savvy and often target young people and the elderly.
  • More information is available on the CDC’s website https://www.cdc.gov/media/phishing.html
