We want our community to be aware of scams related to COVID-19. The following are some examples:

• Telephone Fraud-criminals call victims pretending to be a clinic or hospital officials. Criminals claim a relative of the victim is sick with the virus and request payments for medical treatment
• Subjects offer to sell fake or non-existent testing kits
• Charity scams
• Fake sites offering to sell medical supplies
• Subjects go door to door claiming to be medical staff
• Subjects asking to conduct a home inspection

If someone calls you please ask for their name and title and supervisor’s name, phone number and additional information. Do not provide them with your information unless you have verified that they are who they claim.

Please keep in mind, no agency will try to take advantage of others, especially during hard times. Please do not fall victim to these scams.

If you have any questions, or something doesn’t seem right, you can call us at 510-293-7000.
