Don't be gullible people and use common sense as it's times like this where the SHAMELESS FRAUDs come out to take advantage of you..

Here are some examples:

Quote
States across the US are investigating thousands of reports of coronavirus price gouging, from a $50 bottle of Purell to $10 for a single toilet roll

Coronavirus gouging? Texas AG sues auctioneer for allegedly jacking up prices on 750,000 face masks

Besides law enforcers, good to see businesses helping curb those SHAMELESS FRAUDs EPIC FAILURE behaviors:

Quote
Amazon removes more than 3,900 seller accounts from US store due to 'coronavirus-based price gouging'

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/03/23/coronavirus-amazon-price-gouging-removed-accounts/2904729001/

Quote
Costco is refusing returns on hoarded items

https://retailwire.com/discussion/costco-is-refusing-returns-on-hoarded-items/

The move was praised on social media.

“This is such great news! I’m tired of all those people that buy toilet paper and think they can just return it later when they don’t need it,” one individual responded to an Instagram post.

“It’s about time! Too many people taking advantage of their return policy,” another said.

The ongoing hoarding has again led to some arguments that prices should be allowed to rise so supply and demand can reach equilibrium..

Sad but YUP:

"Even during the best of times, some may try to take advantage of an older person. That can include family, friends, neighbors, caregivers, fiduciaries, business people, and others. They may take money without permission, fail to repay money they owe, charge too much for services, or just not do what they were paid to do. These are examples of elder financial exploitation or financial abuse. In challenging times, elder financial exploitation may be even more common. Scammers both known and unknown to their targets often focus on older adults because they may have more assets or regular income in the form of retirement benefits or savings and because they’re often polite and trusting."

Take this Y2K scam for example:

UNCLE SAM TO RESCUE OF Y2K-SCAM VICTIMS

Recent warning on scam artists using Y2K to bilk people out of money could not have been more timely. Y2K presents a perfect opportunity for criminals to cash in on fears of the unknown..


...Same sh!t, different day...Sad but true when it comes to the destructive behaviors of SHAMELESS FRAUDs..

Georgia Man Arrested for Attempting to Defraud the Department of Veterans Affairs in a Multimillion-Dollar COVID-19 Scam

Christopher Parris, a 39-year-old Atlanta, Georgia resident, was arrested today and charged in federal court in the District of Columbia with fraud for attempting to sell millions of nonexistent respirator masks to the Department of Veterans Affairs in exchange for large upfront payments, the Justice Department announced.

The criminal complaint charges Parris with wire fraud.  It alleges that he made and caused to be made a series of fraudulent misrepresentat ions in an attempt to secure orders from the Department of Veterans Affairs for 125 million face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) that would have totaled over $750 million.
