On April 6th, the FBI posted a list of the most common fraud schemes they were seeing. Among them:
–Government impersonators. Criminals are reaching out to people through social media, emails, phone calls, and even door to door to convince victims that they owe money for COVID testing, financial relief, or medical equipment.
–Fake cures. Do not accept medical treatment or virus testing from anyone other than a doctor, pharmacist, or local health department.
–Work from Home. If someone wants you to pay them to employ you, it’s probably a scam. Legitimate employers will not charge you to apply to work for them or charge you a fee to be hired.
–Investment fraud. In Missouri, people cannot sell securities without a license from the Missouri Secretary of State’s office. To find out if an investment is legitimate or a person is registered to sell securities, call the Investor Protection Hotline at (800) 721-7996.
Recently, Congress passed a law authorizing stimulus checks to qualified Americans. Scammers will ask you to provide personal information to give you your benefits. That is not necessary. If you are eligible, the government will mail you the check, or they will directly deposit it into your bank account. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Concerns have been raised about increased child abuse in the region, since children are not at school during the pandemic. If you suspect child abuse, the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline in Missouri is (800) 392-3738.
