Fraud Prevention

Avoid Scams Related to the Coronavirus

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has noted a number of scams related to the rollout of the vaccine process.

Icon with Fraud warning

Be aware of the following potential indicators of fraudulent activity related to the COVID-19 vaccine:

  • Fake vaccination cards. Using a fake vaccine card can get you fined, land you in jail, or lead to identity theft.
  • Bogus COVID cures. These scams may negatively impact your health and your bank account.
  • Unsolicited emails, telephone calls, or personal contact from someone claiming to be from a medical office, contact tracer, insurance company, or COVID-19 vaccine center requesting personal and/or medical information to determine eligibility to obtain the vaccine or participate in clinical vaccine trials.

Tips to avoid COVID-19 vaccine-related fraud:

  • Consult the state’s health department website for up-to-date information about authorized vaccine distribution channels and only obtaining a vaccine through such channels. https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov
  • Check the FDA’s website (fda.gov) for current information and vaccine updates.
  • Don’t share your personal or health information with anyone other than known and trusted medical professionals.
  • Check your medical bills and insurance explanation of benefits (EOBs) for any suspicious claims and promptly report any errors to your health insurance provider.
