Be Aware of Potential Fraud

Be cautious of text, email, and phone calls regarding the coronavirus. Fraudsters often exploit circumstances like this for personal benefit. For more updates on coronavirus scams, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website.

Here are some tips from the Federal Trade Commission to help you avoid these scams:

Do not click on links from sources you do not know. They could lead to viruses on your computer or device.
Watch for emails claiming to be from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) or experts saying they have information about the virus. For the most up-to-date COVID-19 information, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.
Ignore online offers for vaccinations. There are currently no vaccines, pills, potions, lotions, lozenges or other prescription or over-the-counter products available to treat coronavirus.
Do your research before donating to a charity or crowdfunding site to ensure there is no scamming involved. If someone wants donations by cash, by gift card, or by wiring money, don't do it.
