Fraud.org warns of tsunami of coronavirus scams

摘要

UNITED STATES based Fraud.org has warned about the coming coronavirus scam ‘tsunami’ saying that robocalls and stimulus cheque scams are two forms of fraud expected to increase due to the pandemic. It says YouMail, a cloud-based telecommunications provider that tracks robocall volumes, estimates that at least one million robocalls per day are inundating Americans’ mobile phones. Fraudulent robocallers are offering air duct sanitation services, work-from-home opportunities, cut-rate health insurance, and immune-system boosting nutritional supplements. Yet others have reportedly offered free insulin kits to diabetics, along with free coronavirus testing kits.
