Will County Health Department warns of contact tracing phone scam


JOLIET – The Will County Health Department is warning residents to be on the lookout for potential scam calls from individuals claiming to be from the Health Department asking about contact tracing. While the department has begun calling residents asking them briefly about their general health, they say that some scammers may call residents claiming to be from the Health Department and ask personal and invasive questions. The WCHD advises anyone receiving one of these calls who feels unsure of their validity to ask for the caller’s name and organization they’re with in order to help to identify if they are an actual official. They also note that contact tracing will only be done by phone, and any individual visiting one’s home claiming to be from the Health Department and conducting contact tracing should not be allowed into the home.
