Coronavirus Advice for Consumers
AVOID CORONAVIRUS SCAMS
- Don’t respond to texts, emails or calls about checks from the government. Here’s what you need to know.
- Ignore offers for vaccinations and home test kits. Scammers are selling products to treat or prevent COVID-19 without proof that they work.
- Be wary of ads for test kits. Most test kits being advertised have not been approved by the FDA, and aren’t necessarily accurate.
- Hang up on robocalls. Scammers are using illegal robocalls to pitch everything from low-priced health insurance to work-at-home schemes.
- Watch for emails claiming to be from the CDC or WHO. Use sites like coronavirus.gov and usa.gov/coronavirus to get the latest information. And don’t click on links from sources you don’t know.
- Do your homework when it comes to donations. Never donate in cash, by gift card, or by wiring money.
As the COVID-19 situation unfolds, we encourage you to stay up-to-date on the latest developments by visiting the National CDC website, and the New Mexico Department of Health website, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services . But we also suggest turning off the news, too, and tuning in to Scripture or other uplifting things (Philippians 4:8)

Hang in there. We'll stay in touch; please do the same. God bless you. Fr. Alex+ |
