OSSIPEE — The Carroll County Sheriff's Department and Conway police are warning the public about scam calls pretending to be contact tracers for COVID-19.

On Thursday, Sheriff Domenic Richardi shared a post saying scammers are calling to tell people they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 and that they need "to self-isolate for seven days and take a COVID-19 test." Then the scammer will try and sell a test to a victim.
