CONNECTICUT State officials are warning residents not to be fooled by coronavirus vaccine-related scams designed to rip people off for money.
According to the Office of the Attorney General and the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, fraudsters posing as COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer, sent consumers a COVID-19 survey offering rewards for their opinions about the vaccine. To obtain their reward, the consumers are required to provide their credit card information for shipping purposes. While some people may receive emails or texts from their healthcare providers or authorized vaccine providers, those contacts only come after they have signed up for them, state officials warned in a news release. If you receive a contact that seems suspicious, consumers can contact their healthcare or vaccine provider.
