This winter’s spike in COVID-19 cases has more people than ever looking for tests. This has given rise to a new con:phony websites and suspicious in-person testing sites used to collect personal and insurance information. 

How the scam works: Several websites appear after an online search for a COVID-19 testing site in your area, and a testing clinic affiliated with a local pharmacy or a pop-up run by a local group is selected.

In one version of this scam, you arrive at the testing site and are asked to complete a form with personal information, your driver’s license and medical insurance cards are photographed. Then, a swab is done and a promise is made that test results will arrive within a short time. Unfortunately, the test is a fake and the results never arrive. It was an excuse to get your information.

In another version of this con, you complete an online appointment form with personal, insurance, and medical information. In some cases, a small fee is paid. But, on the day of the appointment, the pharmacy has no record of your reservation. Again, the phony form was a way of phishing for personal information.

One victim reported to BBB Scam Tracker this experience at a phony testing site: “Not until I got home did I realize I provided WAY too much personal information… They used a swab of saliva and said I would be notified by email within 24 hours. It has now been 2 weeks no results, and they are still there doing covid tests.

Some major political setbacks have befallen President Biden in the last week: from an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling over his proposed vaccine mandate, to Russian troops remaining massed near Ukraine’s border, to criticism his administration was caught flat-footed by a worsening surge in the pandemic, to inflation, to a speech on voting rights that appeared to inflame both sides of the aisle. Plus, efforts in the Senate to pass voting rights legislation this week appear doomed. According to FiveThirtyEight's aggregation of public polls, Biden stood at a 42% on Friday - a far cry from the 53% he saw when he first took office. The 50-50 Senate gives any Senator effective veto power over any new law, and moderates Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have demonstrated that they have no qualms about standing in the way of the president’s agenda. And the absence of some high profile Democrats like Stacey Abrams at Biden’s voting rights speech last week appears to show wavering support among the progressive wing of the party. With the midterms bearing down, can Biden extricate himself from between a rock and a hard place?
