Common COVID-19 Scams Fake tracer calls<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tracers are people who have been professionally trained to contact people who have been around a known Covid-19 patient. These professionals are legally allowed to ask for your name, health condition, and where you have been in the past few days in order to trace any other potentially positive Covid-19 patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0They will guide you regarding any further actions you need to take. These professionals are doing an important job that helps hinder the spread of the virus. However, their job has been massively abused by fake tracers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They contact people over the phone or via email with the intention of stealing your personal information. If a tracer calls you with any of the above-mentioned demands do not give them any information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Common COVID-19 Scam is fraudulent charity organizations<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another way scammers may try to steal your hard-earned money is by setting up fake charities or lying about their personal health issues. If you get a message or call from a charity you do not recognize that collects money to aid Covid-19 patients or research, make sure to write down their credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such as the name of the nonprofit organization and search for the name of the charity on the Charity Navigator Website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one way to avoid losing your money to scammers. However, the above mentioned are not the only scams those people are using during the COVID-19.
