Scammers are using robocalls that spread disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic and lying about offering low-priced health insurance and free coronavirus test kits.

CNN's KFile listened to and reviewed data of coronavirus robocalls provided by the protection app NoMoRobo and found more than 60 different phone numbers falsely claiming to have free coronavirus test kits or advertising health insurance.Another kind of robocall, sponsored by the Support American Leaders PAC, uses a recording of President Donald Trump and asks callers to sign a petition to ban flights from China.

Foss says that your number is then put on a"high value target" list that leaves you vulnerable to more robocall scams in the future. One robocall called CNN's KFile trying to sell health insurance plans. A CNN reporter pressed"1: to speak with a representative." A woman answered,"Hi, this is Christina. Do you have insurance and don't like it or need insurance?" The conversation quickly turned hostile before CNN could identify itself as journalists.
