SCAM Alert: We received word that Several older adults in the Rochester area were called. The caller said for a small price they could get them an appointment to be vaccinated.
No hassle. No worries. The caller “gave them an appointment” and told them to go to the State-run vaccination site in Rochester. When they arrived, they didn’t have an appointment. Lost $100. Please note NO ONE is to ask for money to set up COVID-19 Vaccine Registration! If you get a call from someone saying they can get you an appointment for a ‘small’ amount of money, hang up, it is a scam!
