LOS ANGELES - The Department of Justice is warning the public of fraudulent COVID-19 vaccine surveys used to steal money and personal information from consumers.According to the DOJ, cosumers who received the surveys via email or text message are being asked to fill it out with the promise of a prize or cash at the conclusion of the survey."The messages claim that the consumers need only pay shipping and handling fees to receive their prize.
Victims provide their credit card information and are charged for shipping and handling fees, but never receive the promised prize," the DOJ wrote in a press release.RELATED: COVID-19 vaccine scams are on the rise, health officials warn: What to look out for"Victims also are exposing their personally.
