Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina listed several new scams to be aware of, including:
- People offering duct cleaning services or deep cleaning services to rid your home of the virus (This is not necessary. Traditional cleaning should be enough).
- Disregard calls where people who claim to be from the health department saying someone you know has been infected and you can pay to have a kit mailed to you (There is no avenue where you can order a kit and have it sent to you).
- Government agencies will not charge for any services, so be wary of people claiming to be from a government agency.
Colina and other law enforcement agencies voiced other scams they have been made aware of in recent times. For more information, click here.
