Falling for scams can be a disaster. Scammers con people out of their money during times of stress including health emergencies like the COVID pandemic. They might come up with a fake charity and ask for donations or try to sell you a phony cure or treatment during a health emergency. Below are some easy tips to avoid scams. You can get additional information here.

  • Don't share social security, Medicare ID numbers, or financial information with someone you don't know who contacts you in person, by phone, text message, social media message, or email.
