Scammers are taking advantage of the fear and uncertainty
surrounding the Covid-19 Coronavirus. Scams to beware of include:
- Promotion of products that claim to
prevent, treat, or cure the coronavirus.
- Requests for money for fraudulent
charities. If you get a request for donations in cash, by gift card, or by
wiring money, don’t do it.
- Misinformation. Beware of emails and social
media postings that claim to be from experts. For the most up-to-date
information visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
Pennsylvania Department of Health.
- Phishing. A number of phishing scams
related to the virus are being circulated. The attachments or links may contain malware.
