Coronavirus Cons: Avoiding COVID-19 Fraud and Scams

<p>In this episode, we focus on scams arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. In a crisis, con artists craft their pitch to what's in the news. We talk frauds relating to stimulus payments, offers of protective supplies or cures, price gouging, fake charities and investments and more, with guests Attorney General Bob Ferguson; Shannon Smith, Division Chief of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division; and AARP Fraud Expert Doug Shadel. David Johnson of TVW is the host and the program is a part of "Spread The Facts", a partnership between TVW, AARP and the WA COVID-19 Joint Information Center.</p>
