The world is rallying to combat the spread of COVID-19.

People are looking for guidance to better protect themselves.

However, scammers are seeking to steal money or sensitive personal information through concerns about COVID-19.

Be aware there is currently no vaccine, treatment or cure for the disease caused by the coronavirus; any claim of such remedies is fraud.

Consider products claiming to protect against coronavirus to be dubious and scrutinize any new investment opportunity related to a vaccine or cure.

The best way to stay current about new information and guidance is through local, state and federal government sources. All government emails and websites end in the suffix “.gov.”

Report scams to local law enforcement agencies.
