Local Law Enforcement Agencies Warning Residents Of Possible COVID-19 Vaccine Scams

If you are to get a call or email from someone asking for payments you are to ignore them. 

(undated) – Local law enforcement agencies are warning residents of possible COVID-19 vaccine scams.

As the vaccine is being distributed, there is a potential for scams such as:

  • You are asked to pay out of pocket to get the vaccine
  • You are asked to pay to put your name on a vaccine waiting list or to get early access
  • Advertisements for vaccines through social media platforms, email, telephone calls, online, or from unsolicited/unknown sources.
  • Marketers offering to sell or ship doses of the vaccine for payment

If you are to get a call or email from someone asking for payments you are to ignore them. 

If you believe that you have been the victim of the COVID-19 fraud, you are asked to report it immediately to the following numbers:

  • HHS-OIG Hotline: 1-800-HHS-TIPS | tips.hhs.gov
  • FBI Hotline: 1-800-CALL-FBI | ic3.gov
  • CMS/ Medicare Hotline: 1-800-MEDICARE
