Watch Out for Coronavirus-Related Scams [TOWNSQUARE SUNDAY]

With the latest surge of COVID-19 cases across the country, scammers are out in full force seeking to take your money.

According to officials with the Better Business Bureau of Massachusetts, scammers are sending e-mails or making telephone calls, offering consumers the chance to "buy" doses of the coronavirus vaccine or promising to deliver your stimulus check early, provided you share your account number and other important information.
