The Better Business Bureau warns people not to share photos of their COVID vaccination cards on social media, as it can leave them vulnerable to identity theft.
Scammers also use the photos to create fake versions of the vaccination cards.
The cards include people’s full names and birthdays, as well as information about where someone got the vaccine.
“If your social media privacy settings are not set high, you may be giving away valuable information that anyone can use,” the BBB said.
Scammers in Britain have already been caught selling fake vaccination cards on TikTok and eBay.
“It’s only a matter of time before similar drawbacks come to the United States and Canada,” the BBB said. “By posting photos of your card, scammers can get information they can use to create and sell fake cards.”
The BBB suggested that people share pictures of vaccination stickers instead of the vaccination cards.
