Picture: Dorchester Police
Police are warning Dorset residents about a new coronavirus-related text scam.
Victims receive a text message which says: "Someone who came in contact with you tested positive or has shown symptoms of COVID-19 & recommends you self-isolate/get tested."
The message comes with a link which police have said is a way for scammers to get your personal information.
If you receive one of these messages do not click the link.
