Beware of COVID-19 Scams
Scammers will try to take advantage of the fear surrounding any crisis, and the coronavirus pandemic is no exception.
The Federal Trade Commission suggests that you:
• Hang up on robocalls.
• Ignore online offers for unproven vaccinations and home test kits.
• Don’t respond to texts and emails supposedly from the government regarding the economic stimulus checks that are to be delivered in the next few weeks.
• Be careful about donating to charities – make sure they are reputable.
