As if we don't all have enough to worry about during this coronavirus pandemic, there are scammers taking advantage of the situation to try and steal from people. How? Well, for example the Orange County Sheriff's Department in California has noticed an increase in emails, apps, and websites pretending to offer information on COVID-19, but all they are really trying to do is steal your personal information. Seriously, what is wrong with people? Why would anyone want to capitalize on a pandemic to steal from others?

We don't have an answer to why anyone would resort to such devious tactics to make money, but what we can do is share ways in which you can protect yourself and your personal information. This is also information you can share with your parents or any elderly people in your life who might be vulnerable to these scams. You should also warn any children in your life who have access to the internet that there is certain information that you never give out online and that there are links that should never get clicked on. While others work to take advantage of people's fear during this pandemic, let's fight back by looking out for each other.
