With the three golden rules: Slow it Down, Spot Check and Stop! Don’t Send, ScamsSpotter.org offers easy-to-follow help to prevent COVID-19 vaccine scams.

Slow it Down. Scammers will often create this sense of urgency around COVID-19 vaccines. They do this to try and bypass your better instincts. Remember to take your time and ask questions to avoid being rushed into a bad situation.

Spot Check. After slowing it down, do your research and double-check all the details. Check government sources to see when it is your turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Stop! Don’t Send. Remember that no reputable person or agency will ever demand payment on the spot—especially not gift cards. Gift cards are only meant to be given as gifts. So if you think the payment feels fishy, it probably is. Gift Cards have become the payment method of choice for scammers, according to an FTC report.
