 TITLE: Coronavirus Vaccine Scams to Watch Out For CONTENT: Monitor and Protect Your Identity\n---------------------------------\nAvoiding scams is always best, since if you do fall victim and wind up sending someone money or purchasing a fake vaccine, you likely won't be able to recoup your costs. Additionally, you want to beware of thieves getting your personal and medical information, some of which may already be compromised due to a company's data breach.\nMonitoring your credit for an unexpected change, such as a new account you didn't open, can give you a headstart to shutting down identity theft if it happens. Signing up for free Experian credit report monitoring can help. More robust identity theft protection services, such as Experian IdentityWorksSM, may require a subscription. However, they often come with wider-reaching monitoring and insurance protections that can save you time and money if your identity is compromised. END
