This week on FinCap Friday, we dive into the latest news regarding scams that are related to coronavirus. The FBI issued an official warning about these scams and the increased number of them occurring since coronavirus was officially declared a pandemic. Hackers, scammers and fraudsters are looking to take advantage of people who feel unprepared or afraid during these uncertain times and they have a plan to profit from people's emotions. What are some of the scams to watch out for and how do we protect ourselves against them? Learn all about this and more in the latest episode of FinCap Friday below:
