Scammers are doubling down on their efforts to scam people out of their money and personal information. That’s why the FTC and the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) are teaming up to remind you: No matter what anyone tells you,
you can’t buy COVID-19 vaccines online and there’s no out-of-pocket cost to get the shots.
Here are some ways to avoid a vaccine-related scam:
Ignore online ads, social media posts, or phone calls from people offering to sell you the COVID-19 vaccine. You can’t buy it anywhere. The vaccine is only available at federal- and state-approved locations.

Blank coronavirus vaccination cards are being found for sale on sites like eBay, Shopify, and OfferUp, according to the National Association of Attorneys General.
âI ve seen reports that scammers are trying to sell fake COVID vaccine cards for anywhere from twenty dollars to eighty dollars, to even a couple hundred dollars,â said LaDonna Koebel with the Kentucky Attorney Generalâs Office.

Criminals are looking to cash in on the U.S. immunization push against COVID-19 by selling forgeries of government-issued vaccination record cards that show people have been inoculated.
Hundreds of fraudsters are selling blank or forged versions of the cards over ecommerce sites including eBay, Etsy and Shopify, while also running advertisements for the fakes on Facebook, according to Saoud Khalifah, CEO of Fakespot, which uses artificial intelligence to detect online retail scams. And with names such as blankcovidcard.com, such sellers are hardly discreet. In January we started noticing Shopify stores selling fake vaccination cards, and that was really interesting because it introduced a new dynamic to society where people can counterfeit immunity and interplace it with a fake card, Khalifah told CBS MoneyWatch. It s a new concept we haven t seen before.
