Scam Alert
Scammers are taking advantage of fears surrounding coronavirus and are trying to exploit the pandemic response to steal your personal information and money. They are impersonating public health agencies, hospitals, federal financial agencies and more. Be alert and verify any unsolicited phone calls or emails.
FACT: There is currently no vaccine and no specific treatment to prevent or treat a coronavirus infection.
Do not give money to anyone that claims a payment will put you on a list to fast-track receiving a vaccination or to “investment opportunities” or offers to crowdfund for a cure. Additionally, be wary of anyone touting any type of medical miracle or holistic cures. Scammers may also try to take advantage of the kindness of others for their own benefit. If someone asks you to donate money toward a community charity, we strongly suggest you research organizations prior to donating money.
