Yesterday evening, a handful of residents reported receiving calls from a number with a strong Indian or Pakistani accent, claiming to represent the Minnesota Department of Health or the CDC. The callers asked vague health‑related questions and tried to sound official. These patterns match common impersonation scams. Do not share any personal information or confirm details over the phone. Hang up immediately, add the number to your phone’s block list, and file a complaint with the FTC or your state consumer protection agency. If you’re ever unsure, verify the claim through the agency’s official website before taking any action.
