May 2020 - COVID 19 Scams

COVID-19 Scams. Scammers are taking advantage of fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are some tips from the Federal Trade Commission to avoid Scammers:

• Don't respond to texts, emails or calls about checks from the government. The details are still coming together.
• Ignore online offers for vaccinations and home test kits. There are no products proven to treat or prevent COVID-19 at this time.
• Hang up on robocalls. Scammers are using illegal robocalls to pitch everything from low-priced health insurance to work-at-home schemes.
• Watch for emails claiming to be from the CDC or W.H.O. Use sites like coronavirus.gov and usa.gov/coronavirus to get the latest information.
• And don't click on links from sources you don't know.
• Do your homework when it comes to donations. Never donate in cash, by gift card, or by wiring money
