Please be alert and don't fall for scams
related to the vaccine rollout
The Florida Attorney General has issued a consumer alert about scams that involve misleading webpages advertising vaccine appointments and charging for them. According to the Attorney General, scammers have used the popular website Eventbrite to pose as county health departments attempting to take payments for making appointments. THIS IS A SCAM. For tips on spotting and avoiding vaccine scams, read the Attorney General's consumer alert. Report suspicious solicitations or COVID-19 vaccine-related advertisements to the Attorney General’s Office by calling 1(866) 9NO-SCAM or visiting MyFloridaLegal.com |
