AG’s Office Warns of Vaccine Fraud

The West Virginia Attorney General’s Office is warning about pandemic-related fraud calls. Patrick Morrisey’s office said suspicious calls about the COVID-19 vaccine have been circulating where a con artist asks several questions about personal and financial data, supposedly in order to schedule a vaccine appointment. Legitimate health officials coordinating vaccine distribution won’t ask for payment or financial or other personal, identifiable information. If you think you’ve been a victim of fraud, contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-368-8808.
