MADISON, Wis. As the COVID-19 vaccine continues to roll out, more people are posting pictures of their vaccination cards to social media. Local police departments and the Better Business Bureau are advising people to not post the cards because of the self-identifying information on it that could make you vulnerable to identity theft.
“People can open credit cards in your name. They have your name and your birthdate. All they need is your social security number and your address. Your address is usually available online through different platforms. Scammers are out there and purchase social security numbers on the dark web,” said Tiffany Schultz with the Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin.
