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