Coronavirus Fraud Schemes

We hope all of you are staying healthy and safe during this demanding time. Our colleagues around the nation are seeing an increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) fraud schemes. We are sharing a link to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) with a public service announcement regarding fraud schemes related to the coronavirus: https://www.ic3.gov/media/2020/200320.aspx.

We urge residents to exercise caution and use good judgement when responding to messages about the current pandemic. Visit legitimate sources such as the Center for Disease Control and/or the World Health Organization for accurate information during these challenging times.
