Unfortunately, there has been an increase in con artists
perpetrating new and old scams in the midst of the coronavirus.
Beware. Here are some of the common ones:
Stimulus/Government Assistance Scams: The government will
never ask you to pay anything up front to get this money. Stimulus funds
will be sent by check or direct deposit. If someone calls and asks for your
Social Security number, bank account or credit card to receive government
assistance, they are a scammer. To receive assistance, you must
file an application and meet the qualifications for one of the available
government grants or SBA loans.
Fake Mandatory COVID-19 Test Scams: Certain scammers pose
as employees of a government department and may send a text or email
message concerning "mandatory" COVID-19 testing. The message instructs
you to click on a link which, the scammer claims, will allow you to complete
an online test or register to get tested. In actuality, the link gives the
scammer access to your financial, medical and other personal
information.
Grandparent/Family Scams: The scammers have instituted a new
twist on an old scam during the coronavirus. In this version, the scammer
uses an unfamiliar email or phone number and poses as a friend or family
member who has contracted the virus and is desperate for money. Refrain
from wiring funds or sending a gift card. Instead, contact your
relative or friend directly to see what help, if any, they need.
Phony Charities and Crowdfunding: While it is admirable to give
donations during a time of such great need, be cautious. Do your homework.
Make sure to research where a charitable donation is going and visit the NJ
website (www.NJConsumerAffairs.gov/) for more information about
the status and requirements for legitimate charities. As for crowdfunding, be
sure to understand the terms and conditions of the specific campaign and
read all the comments you can relating to the appeal. Don't be rushed
into giving and beware of any campaign that specifies donations
must be made in cash, gift card of wired funds!
Be careful and stay healthy! – Victor Rotolo
