The rollout of COVID vaccines offers rich opportunities for scammers: There’s not yet enough supply for everyone who wants a shot. Eligibility rules and sign-up procedures vary by location and change frequently. Everyone is tired of pandemic restrictions and desperate to hear and believe that they can get that coveted jab sooner.
It can be hard to know if a call, text or email is the result of signing up for a waitlist or because a scammer sees you as a potential target.
