Think before you click!
The spread of COVID-19 is being used by bad guys to scare people into clicking on links, open malicious attachments, or give out confidential information. We encourage you to be cautious and careful with anything related to the Coronavirus: emails, attachments, any social media, texts on your phone, etc.
Look out for topics like:
- Check updated Coronavirus map in your city
- Coronavirus Infection warning from local school district
- CDC or World Health Organization emails or social media Coronavirus messaging
- Keeping your children safe from Coronavirus
- You might even get a scam phone call to raise funds for "victims"
Please just be cautious. There will be a number of scams related to this situation, so please remember to Think Before You Click!
