Better Business Bureau Warns: Do Not Share COVID-19 Vaccination Cards On Social Media

The Oklahoma state attorney general and Better Business Bureau have a warning for those who get their COVID-19 Vaccine – do not share your vaccination card on social media.

It is the latest social media trend, folks get the COVID-19 vaccine and they are excited so they want to share the news by posting a picture of, or with, their vaccination card. 

But the BBB and AG said that can actually give scammers personal information that makes you vulnerable to identity theft. It also opens the door for scammers to make and sell phony versions.

The BBB said scammers in Great Britain were caught selling fake vaccination cards on eBay and TikTok. It is only a matter of time before similar cons come to the United States, the Better Business Bureau said. 

The BBB suggests using a profile frame if you want to share on social media that you have been vaccinated.

It is always a good idea to double-check your privacy settings so you know exactly who can see your posts.

The Better Business Bureau also reminds the public to be wary of answering popular social media prompts. 

“Think twice before participating in other viral personal posts, such as listing all the cars you have owned (including makes/model years), favorite songs, and top 10 TV shows. Some of these “favorite things” are commonly used passwords or security questions,” the BBB said.

If you have spotted or been a victim of a scam you can report it on the BBB Scam Tracker.
