What's a COVID-19 scam?
Different types of COVID-19 scams
Phishing scams
Fraudsters use phishing to trick you into sharing your information or selecting a link that infects your device with malware. With COVID-19 phishing scams, fraudsters pretend to be from healthcare organizations and try to communicate with you via email or text.
COVID-19 vaccines fraud
Fraudsters pose as authorized sellers and medical personnel to try to get you to buy vaccines online. They may claim you've tested positive for COVID-19 or trick you into confirming your health insurance information and credit card numbers for prescriptions. Get safe vaccinations through a clinic that's endorsed by your local government and public health agency.
CARES payment scams
Fraudsters pose as government representatives to try to get your information and money. They reach out by email or text to ask you to apply or confirm an economic impact payment for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Be wary of communications claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about your payment status or refunds.
