In the event of receiving such a call, <br />the public is advised to hang up immediately. <br /> <br />Here is some more information to protect against caller ID <br />spoofing: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/spoofing-and-caller-id <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
