Avoid scams during the coronavirus pandemic

Scammers are taking advantage of people’s fears surrounding the Coronavirus. Some of the top scams include a fake stimulus check, testing scams, charity scams and more. One of the biggest signs of a scam is a sense of urgency. Scammers will apply pressure or use fear to get you to act. Another sign of a scam is scarcity. Scammers are claiming there is a limited supply, so you must “buy now.” Learn more about the top COVID-19 scams and how to avoid them.
