Coronavirus Scams: Guard Against Fraud Cures and Other Cons
Watchdog groups are warning of a surging number of scams that target people who fear COVID-19 or need money due to lost income.
Many charge people in advance for fake treatments or home test kits, protective gear the sellers don’t have and even overpriced toilet paper that never arrives.
Other fraudsters offer “help” finding a new job or quickly getting federal stimulus payments _ if people provide bank account and Social Security numbers or pay upfront fees.
To avoid being duped, investigate or seek advice before responding to offers that look too good to be true.
