Be Aware Corona-virus Scams

Hackers and fraudsters are increasingly using Coronavirus scams to entice potential victims. Here are some tips to protect yourself: 1. Obtain facts from reputable and official news sources. Significant developments will be reported through reputable outlets first, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.gov). 2. Be wary of any request to send funds quickly or scams related to the COVID-19 stimulus bill recently passed by Congress. 3. Do not click on links embedded in webpages or emails related to the coronavirus. If you believe the message may be legitimate, contact the organization through confirmed channels. 4. Beware of any “investment” opportunities claiming to support companies that have developed a “cure” or “vaccine.” 5. If you’re working from home, look out for spoofed emails or calls attempting to compromise remote access and company data. Stay Safe!
