IN the NEWS - Really?

 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life.... 
Ezekiel 33:15

"The high demand for COVID-19 tests has led to scammers setting up fake testing sites to steal people’s information, according to the Better Business Bureau.
They’re warning people to check the validity of a testing site or company offering to send you at-home tests before you hand out your personal information.

Some of these scam sites are requesting your credit card information and other personal, identifiable information – so, security numbers, driver’s license numbers, things like that,” President and CEO of BBB Serving Northern Indiana Rick Walz said. “Until you are 100 percent sure that the site is legit and that the information they’re requesting is reasonable, don’t give out any information.” 

One company the BBB is looking into: Center for Covid Control.

The company’s website advertises more than 275 free testing sites across the country, including a location in Fort Wayne at Coliseum Blvd. and Delaware Ave.

Two weeks ago, WANE 15 alerted BBB of Northern Indiana to the site and national news stories about the company, which prompted an investigation. 

A CBS News report indicates the FBI is now also looking into the company.

Center for COVID Control’s website claims the company’s operations are “paused” despite advertising they would reopen on Saturday, January 22." WANETV
