Two Scams Directed At Our Older Adults
Opportunists and thrill-seekers are at it again.
So, Lackawanna County older adults, beware.
Scams pertaining to two very important subjects – vaccine shots and stimulus checks – are running rampant. Seniors and their families need to be aware of this and the ramifications.
Here are the facts as provided by the County’s Area Agency on Aging:
- Vaccine Scam – Any calls stating that if you pay, provide credit card information, or personal information, you can get a vaccine shot is false. All vaccines are free; covered by insurance.
- Stimulus Scam – Any calls stating that if you pay, provide credit card information, or personal information, you will get additional stimulus payments. This is certainly untrue.
