Authorities across New Jersey are warning residents this week of reports of people going to residences pretending to be Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) employees. "The CDC is NOT deploying personnel to make door-to-door visits," the city of Livingston posted to its Twitter account. The New Jersey Department of Health did not say what the alleged CDC imposters were soliciting from residents, be it donations or personal information. The Federal Trade Commission has warned of scammers trying to take advantage of the crisis through email and donation scams. In one case, victims received an email from a fake medical organization with attachments purporting to have important information about COVID-19.
