Businesses and Individuals  Facing New Scams During Covid-19

Business Scams


2020 is a year when the world finds itself struggling against a pandemic – COVID-19. With the norms of health, distancing and sanitization, most physical modes of life have come to a halt. There has been a digital shift in business, marketing, education, healthcare, so on and so forth. While this keeps the system functioning, there are disadvantages as well. Amid disorder and distress, several business scams have come up. Be it in the name of charity, promotion, fundraisers, online courses, etc. – the vulnerability of the world is being directed towards fraudulent activities.

Digital modes are inevitable under these circumstances. But knowing the types of scams, precautions and legal aid available will help. Let us find out further details!

What leads to these business scams?

During this crisis, several organizations, the government and individuals have undertaken large scale relief strategies. This includes food supply, masks, medicines, sanitation, funds and much more. Both online and offline modes are used to help people protect and rescue themselves.

This is what hackers and potential criminals take advantage of. Using malicious software, hidden viruses and illegal links, scams are set up regularly. Fake calls, messages and emails for monetary assistance may also be a part of this. While awareness campaigns may help protect people online, often legal assistance is required. That is when lawyers in Lake Charles come to your rescue with the support of an experienced law firm.

What are the different types of business scams?

The nature of business scams takes different forms. But mostly these can be linked to financing and charity, technological scams, sales schemes, medical assistance, etc. Some of the more common business scams include:

  • Imitating organizations
Hackers use calls and messages to impersonate global organizations. They may ask for your personal information, providing which may lead to serious consequences.

  • False supply schemes
Several online platforms selling essential products are coming up. Some of these are fake websites which after payment, never deliver the product or completely shut down their sites.

  • Health and treatment frauds 
There have been different health-related scams. These include claims of false vaccines for COVID-19, medicines, masks, sanitizers and even testing kits. There are also instances of people impersonating doctors and healthcare workers to trap people into spending money online for treatment.

  • Educational scams
With online classes being adopted by every institute, frauds are hacking into the student information available on online applications. There are sites that trick parents into buying study materials at discounted prices but after payment, they receive no outputs.

  • Donations and fundraisers
As organizations are collecting funds to meet the demands, several illegal practices are being adopted. This includes directing users to duplicate links, hacking into their bank accounts, getting personal details, etc. in the name of charity.

What precautions can be taken?

Even in the situation of crisis and chaos, there are some ways to be protected from scams. The most important is awareness about ongoing scams of all kinds. A background check before purchase or donations is a must. Emails from unofficial sources asking to sign up on links and sites using uncommon payment modes must be verified first. Using a safe network, controlling application access and refraining from sharing personal details, pictures or files are essential.
