The Brunswick News on vaccine scams:
Most people have no problem putting in a hard day’s work and being rewarded for their effort. It is, in many ways, what this country was founded on a can-do attitude determined to get the job done no matter what.
Then there are others who want to leech off those who have done things the right way. They try to scheme their way into money by deceptive means, taking it from individuals through nefarious ways.
Scammers have been around forever, but their methods have evolved. Our technologically advanced times have made it even easier for these scoundrels to prey on their victims. Some have even used the pandemic to attempt to separate citizens from their money.

Georgia Sen. Jen Jordan, an Atlanta attorney and Democrat, announced Wednesday she is running for state attorney general against the Republican incumbent, Chris Carr.
Jordan enters the race with fellow Democrat Charlie Bailey, also an Atlanta attorney and former prosecutor, who lost to Carr in 2018 by about 100,000 votes.
Competition looks to be stiff between the Democratic nominee and Carr, who previously served as then-U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson’s chief of staff and as commissioner of the state Department of Economic Development.
