ALERT!
Fraud Alert!
Contact the SHINE SMP Program if you believe you have been a victim.
As the number of people and communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic grows, so do the scams. Scammers use public health emergencies as opportunities for new fraud schemes, and because older adults are at greater risk for serious illness, they may target the older populations. There is currently no FDA-approved vaccine and although there are many treatments for symptoms, there is no "cure." However, scammers often use fear-based tactics to convince people that a vaccine or cure is now being offered. It is also important to remember that although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health officials may contact you if they believe you have been exposed to the virus, they will not ask you for insurance or financial information.
