Fake websites with exclusive COVID-19 information
COVID-19 has rapidly become one of the most searched topics on the internet, and many companies have created dedicated COVID-19 pages on their websites to address the crisis. There are also websites that track the progress of the pandemic. Scammers may create COVID-19 websites of their own, possibly claiming to have exclusive information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or a similar organization. When you visit the site, it may download malicious software to your computer that steals your personal information.
You should be especially careful of websites that have "coronavirus" or "COVID-19" in the site name itself, as these have probably just been created recently and could be fake. Rely on legitimate sources, like the CDC, World Health Organization (WHO), and government websites, for accurate information.
Robo Calls
Do not press any numbers or respond to robocalls. Scammers are pitching everything from scam Coronavirus treatments to work-at-home schemes. Engaging them will lead to more robocalls.
