The FBI has warned of several new fraud schemes that are exploiting the CCP virus pandemic by targeting the vulnerable via fake websites, phone calls, and emails, and spreading false information on social media.
In a press release on March 20, U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams for the District of Oregon and the FBI urged the public to be aware of the rising number of scams and to protect themselves by researching and independently verifying the identity of a company before clicking on links, donating to charities, contributing to crowd-funding campaigns, buying products online, and giving out personal information.
