After reading here recently on trying to avoid controversy and such Im not sure the appropriate place to pit this topic. I didn’t want to bury it in the current threads of C19 and Would you...vaccine. Moderators do as you wish with this post.
This is just from a local paper, apparently there have been issues with scammers. I’m assuming if it’s happened here it can happen anywhere across the country.
https://www.app.com/story/money/business/consumer/press-on-your-side/2021/01/21/covid-vaccine-scams/4221446001/“ A warning from the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says fraudsters, who pretend they're calling from a doctor's office, an insurance company or vaccine center, are targeting residents, especially senior citizens.”
“ Here's how it works. Scammers are offering early access to the coronavirus vaccine for some sort of payment, promising to ship the vaccine directly to you for a fee or deposit. They may say they'll place you on a waiting list or give additional medical testing and treatment.”
“ They'll ask you for personal or medical information to see if you "qualify" for the vaccine, authorities said. The goal is to convince you to turn over your Social Security number, Medicare identification number, date of birth or credit card or bank account information.”
