"The FBI has received complaints of scammers using the public's interest in COVID-19 vaccines to obtain personally identifiable information and monies through various schemes"
Unfortunately with the vaccine rollout, scams related to it are about to increase. Inform your loved ones, especially the elderly, that they should not put stock in any offers to get the vaccine unless they come from a legitimate medical/vaccine provider.
This includes the typical use of phishing, but may also take other forms. Tell them to never give out personal identifying information, especially credit/banking information and social security numbers. If they ever have any reservations, tell them to double check with a knowledgeable source.
