The Justice Department (DOJ) and the Department of Human and Health Services (HHS) issued warnings about scams related to antibody testing, contact tracing, and other fraud schemes linked to the CCP virus.

The HHS said scammers are luring people by offering CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus tests to Medicare beneficiaries and stealing their personal information, including Medicare information. “However, the services are unapproved and illegitimate,” said the HHS Office of Inspector General in a public alert on Monday.
