Though the process aims to help, Ohio’s coronavirus website says scammers posting as contact tracers have been targeting Ohioans making some skeptical of answering the phone.
Dohm said there are ways to tell that the call is coming from a legitimate source. First, people who receive a call from the health department can always call back. Second, the agency will leave voicemails, something scammers generally do not do.
“The other thing is we’re not asking for social security numbers. We’re not saying you need to pay money. We’re just trying to get information,” Dohm said.

1. I never answer my phone unless I recognize the number.

If its important they'll leave a message.

I wonder if I missed some polls before the election? I was getting a LOT of unknown callers then. They never left a voicemail, though.
