Consumer groups are warning people to watch out for COVID-19 vaccine scams.  Oregon Attorney General’s office director of consumer outreach and education Ellen Klem says she is grateful there hasn’t been a significant number of scams reported to her office yet, but there are some things folks should watch out for.  She says “If somebody contacts you out of the blue and makes promises, says things like they can ‘get you to the head of the line for a small fee,’ that is a big red flag that it is a scam.” Klem notes people don’t have to pay for the vaccine, and it’s only being offered through federal and state partners, and was recently expanded to certain pharmacies. Scams took their toll on consumers last year.  The Federal Trade Commission reports Americans lost three-point-three billion dollars to fraud in 2020.
