Fake Cures
There is currently no cure or vaccine to treat coronavirus. Any claims that suggest otherwise are 100% false.
Phony Fundraisers
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) suggests researching charities before donating. You can verify nonprofits at GivingMatters.com.
Impersonations
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not go door-to-door gathering information about infectious diseases. If you encounter a person claiming to be from the CDC, contact your local police department.

Recently, the Secret Service issued a warning about emails that appear to be sent from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The email contains a link that does NOT connect to the CDC. It is best to check the sender’s email address and avoid opening emails from senders that you do not know.
