Avoiding Scams
The Federal Trade Commission issued information and tips regarding protecting oneself against scamming efforts during the coronavirus.
Individuals are encouraged to personally fact-check all information regarding coronavirus, and be aware of unapproved or misbranded products claiming to treat, test for, or prevent coronavirus.
Additionally, individuals are encouraged to remain vigilant against COVID-19 scamming websites aiming to impersonate key organizations, promote fraudulent testing or vaccines, and/or mimic virus tracking maps. Learn more about scams during COVID-19 HERE.
