SECURITY ALERT: BEWARE OF SCAMS

As public concern about the coronavirus and COVID-19 grows, scammers will take advantage of the situation to victimize people online.  Scams may include misinformation on websites, social media and text messages to sell ineffective remedies claiming they can treat or prevent COVID-19. Other scammers may pretend to be a government agency with access to a vaccine or as a charity soliciting donations for victims. Instead, what they want is steal your money and personal information.  Here are some tips to protect yourself from scams:

  • Don’t click on texts, links or emails from sources you don’t know.
  • Make sure anti-malware and anti-virus software on your computer, smart phone or tablet is up-to-date. 
  • Be careful when given unsolicited information or advice regarding coronavirus
  • Learn more about how to protect yourself online by visiting the Federal Trade Commission’s website: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/02/coronavirus-scammers-follow-headlines.
