Because nothing says scammy like trying to capitalise on the fears and concerns of being vaccinated for a virus that has killed so many already. According to the FBI, they’re currently investigating a host of phony websites that have surfaced on the internet.
NBC News reports that most recently on Friday a false website impersonating Moderna and its vaccines was taken offline. The website appeared to target elderly citizens and the usual demographics that may not be hip to the internet.
Editors Note: A friendly reminder folks —- they’re not selling vaccines on the internet nor can you actually get this vaccine anywhere else other than a medical facility or pharmacy. Please remember that and also please remember to advise that to your elderly family members who usually are targeted by these scams especially in e-mails.
