Common Coronavirus Scams

Scammers change their methods frequently. Current coronavirus scams include:

• Identity theft when people post a photo of their vaccination card on social media - Don't post a photo of your vaccination card online. Scammers can see and steal your name, birthdate, and other personal information.
• COVID-19 testing, vaccine, and treatment scams - Be aware that scammers are targeting Medicare recipients. They're offering COVID-19 testing in an attempt to steal personal information.
• Charity scams - Fake charities pop up during disasters. And scammers can also claim to be from real charities. Learn how to research charity claims and protect your money.
• Checks from the government - Scammers say they’re from the IRS or another government agency. They ask for your personal information or try to charge you fake fees for getting your stimulus check or offer you a way to get the money early.
• FDIC and banking - People pretend to call from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or your bank. They say your bank account or your ability to get cash are in danger and ask for your personal information.
• Grandparent and military service member scams - A scammer pretends to be a grandchild or a military service member. They say they're sick or in trouble because of the coronavirus. They contact you asking to wire them money to pay for fake medical or travel expenses.
• COVID-19 funeral assistance scam - Scammers pretend to be from FEMA's COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program and call to offer program registration to family members of people who have died from COVID-19. In this way, the scammers can steal the family members' Social Security numbers and other forms of identification.

Coronavirus Rumors

Rumors, myths, and conspiracy theories about the coronavirus can be frightening and misleading. Go to FEMA's Rumor Control page to check out the real answers about the rumors you're hearing.

Report Price Gouging

During times of high demand, sellers may raise prices to a very high and unfair level on needed items like:

• Face masks

• Hand sanitizer

• Household or personal care items

This is called price gouging and it’s illegal. If you suspect price gouging, report it to your state attorney general.

The damage Scott Morrison’s actions have done to Australia’s standing internationally is analogous to what Donald Trump’s four years as president did to America “The siege of Monsieur Morrison”, November 4). It can only be hoped that world leaders will realise that how Morrison acts does not reflect the real Australia just as Trump was an aberration. Like the passing of the Trump era in America, Australia can begin to repair the harm done once a new administration takes over in Canberra. It will be slow and difficult work but relations with France can be repaired with time and Australia’s reputation can be restored. Richard Keyes, Enfield

A Man Holding A Paper For The Registration Of Dating Site In Usa 2017

Morrison struts the world stage like a bully in the school playground, believing he is untouchable. His idea of international diplomacy is to roll up for a soccer game and play thugby league. He has
offended the presidents of France and the USA, ruined the chance of a trade deal with Europe and made all Australians a laughing stock internationally. His boorish behaviour diminishes us as a nation. John Grinter, Katoomba

This is a spat over a commercial deal – yes, a mega deal so the pain and grief are proportionately mega as well – but it is not a test of whether Australia or its elected officials can be trusted. In the north of France lie thousands of reasons why Australia can be trusted and, at the crossroads in many outback towns in Australia, there are memorials to some of those reasons. In Canberra, there is a spire topped by the American eagle to another country which has proven it can be trusted in our time of need. Would France mobilise its resources to do likewise? Australia is a long way away and France’s Pacific military resources and interests are tiny. AUKUS goes beyond military hardware.
Peter Thornton, Killara

Anthony Albanese clearly just doesn’t have “it”. But if replaced who is ready to step in? There’s no Bob Hawke. Jim Chalmers is a bright but unknown to the public; Bill Shorten been there and done that; Tanya Plibersek, able but not willing; Chris Bowen a bookish/intellectual severely wounded by the last election and Kristina Keneally, tough and resolute but, fairly or not, still has a couple of albatrosses around her neck. That leaves the one warrior who would win in a canter: Penny Wong. But she is in the wrong House and is not for moving “downstairs”. Albanese it will have to be, with about as much chance of success as Emmanuel Macron does of selling submarines to an ad man.
Trevor Somerville, Illawong

I have some sympathy for Albanese. At the last election we had a choice between policies, some of which would have gone some way to improving two main electorate issues – housing affordability and climate change – and yet the vote went to a man with no policies and a chequered political past – because he wore a baseball cap and had a beer at barbies. We ended up with “I don’t hold a hose” and screaming increases in house prices. Until the electorate thinks more about the longer term it will always be thus. Brenton McGeachie, Queanbeyan West

And I thought Tony Abbott’s tenure was disastrous (“Ambassador says leak means Australia cannot be trusted”, November 4). Don Carter, Oyster Bay

While our Prime Minister might not be adept at diplomacy, he would excel in a china shop. Rod Allan, Kelso

Australia’s position on methane emissions stinks

Cutting damaging methane outputs can be done quickly and it’s considered one of the most effective things we can do to meet our Paris targets (“Greenhouse gas curbs a win for COP”, November 4). The world celebrates with the 80 diverse nations at COP26 who’ve signed on to cut methane emissions by 30 per cent by 2030. The world looks on in despair at countries, including Australia, who have not.

To find an “Australian way” to cut our methane emissions quickly is surely possible without – as Barnaby Joyce would have it – having to shoot the national herd. Other nations are focusing on mapping and managing methane leaks across their lands, and investing heavily in research and development to reduce methane production of their herds. Here, our inwardly looking, parochial “Australian way” flies in the face of addressing a global emergency. While we obfuscate, one thing is certain – our methane emissions can only get worse as our straw men return to the earth. Karen Campbell, Curlewis

Australia’s refusal to sign up to a reduction of methane gas emissions by 2030 is unforgivable and shows how beholden the current government is to mining and gas companies. $21 million in grants to a gas company for fracking in the NT is certainly proof of this but to do so without appropriate environmental investigation is beyond belief (“Climate change risks not part of minister’s considerations, fracking trial told”, November 4). Does Minister Pitt realise that fracking not only poses serious risks to groundwater and local ecology, it produces methane which is the worst greenhouse gas by a long shot? Rod Bartlett, Woonona

The Greenpeace report alleges that in 2019 Australia tried to change the declaration on regional security by objecting to the wording that “climate change remains the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and wellbeing of the peoples of the Pacific” (“Pacific report slams Australia as a regional ‘bully’” , November 4).

I wonder now, with Scott Morrison joining China and Russia in opposing the global methane pledge to cut methane emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, if climate change will be the single greatest threat to his re-election? Larry Woldenberg, Forest Lodge

In a manner reminiscent of Mark Latham manhandling John Howard, and channelling Sir Les Patterson, a smirking Prime Minister shirt-fronting the Prince of Wales with “G’day-ya-Royal-Highness-Jeez-we-now-have-net-zero-2050” was nothing short of crass. John Burman, Port Macquarie

Glasgow 2021: How to turn a much-anticipated “COP-that” message to the big polluters into a global “COP-out”. Now we are all going to cop it (“Squabbling superpowers risk climate progress”, November 4). Renata Bali, Beechworth (VIC)

Cleo’s case provokes searching questions

In a week of bleak news, the announcement Cleo was found unharmed was wonderful (“‘My name is Cleo’”, November 4). WA Police showed how it’s done and their spokesman said they had “her beautiful smiling face plastered around the walls of the station. We were never going to give up until we found her”.

I reflected though, on how much a child’s race, colour, creed, age, gender and physical appearance bear on the police’s determination, commitment and resources provided to investigate abduction and other serious offences upon children. Howard Charles, Annandale

Many prayers for Cleo were answered. I hope many thanks will follow. Simon Manchester, Artarmon

Calling the roll in kindergarten, 2026 is likely to be a nightmare for teachers. Every second girl is going to be a Cleo. Robert Hickey, Green Point

Transgender normative

My granddaughter showed very early signs, at about age 4, of not being comfortable in her assigned gender (“Evidence is clear on how to support trans youth”, November 4). This became more pronounced over time in relation to clothes, friends, sport and finally toilets. The child experienced bullying and became seriously upset with the early onset of puberty.

With professional and school help the child transitioned on entering high school with change of clothes, name, haircut etc. and excellent help from The Gender Centre and the gender clinic staff at Westmead Hospital. Puberty blockers were started at about age 14 and continued until about age 16-17 when testosterone was used to complete the transition. The problem with letting puberty continue is that the young person will need surgery later to correct their body shape.

I now have a very happy and well-adjusted grandson who has a job, a study plan, and a partner. I emphasise that that excellent psychological and medical care is needed. Name withheld

I work as a primary teacher with young people, who I observe are constantly investigating and experimenting with their gender. It’s an extremely fluid time. I also have observed in the students a more determined strident self diagnosis of gender dysphoria emerge in latter years.

A more inclusive view of binary and transgender has been encouraged by the internet, plus the stresses of a developing personality in a highly charged social media framework has normalised some issues teens might be experiencing in trying to find their place in the world. But it is such a fluid time, experimentation is often involved and most times best left alone by the caring parent. They sort out where they’re at by themselves in their own time when given the space to do so. Patsy Chingwile, Leichhardt

Premier focus

Dominic Perrottet, as a conviction politician, is a breath of fresh air following the ethically challenged Gladys Berejiklian (“Living in Berejiklian’s shadow”, November 4). Even Paul Keating has applauded his early premiership. If the new Premier holds good on his undertaking to rein in rampant pork-barrelling, NSW will be a much better place. Tony Simons, Balmain

Gladys Berejiklian is my local member and easily the best ever to represent Willoughby. But like many things our perception of an individual politician is often 2 years behind the reality. While she shone with bushfires and COVID-19 she had already started to lose her appeal to her own constituents.

Had she stood up to pork barrelling, and its new variant of “Take from the safe and unwinnable seats to give to the marginals” then perhaps it would all have been different. I suspect it will remain her Achilles heel. That she failed so spectacularly to do so I believe is no reflection on her, rather it’s the system that is broken. The days of our best and brightest appear to be numbered as soon as they are earmarked for the top job. Ken Wilson, Willoughby

Middle-class welfare

What a deceitful act in the name of helping first home buyers and low income earners. The Premier and his Treasurer want to make housing more affordable by axing stamp duty and replace it with a lower yearly land tax (“Treasurer rethinks axing of stamp duty”, November 4).

Go figure. All this will do is to allow developers and wealthy property owners to buy and sell real estate more frequently with a substantial reduction in purchase costs.

Once again, pushing up real estate prices as the gap between the haves and have-nots deepens.
Bruce Blackstock, Kiama

Using dodgy tax law to minimise tax may be legal but is hardly ethical or good manners (Letters, November 4). Peter Wotton, Pyrmont

Call it a “rose” by any other name, tax minimisation euphemistically hides the fact that it is indirect middle-class welfare, the size and largesse of which far outstrips welfare for the unemployed and will soon overtake that of the aged pension. Try taking this welfare blanket away and the roars will be deafening. Helen Lewin, Tumbi Umbi

Champing at the bitcoin

Your editorial implies that CBA allowing cryptocurrency trading on its platform is premature and rightly telling investors to be cautious (“Cryptocurrency gets CBA’s tick of approval”, November 4). With $2 trillion invested in crypto and getting bigger every day, it seems CBA doesn’t want to be left behind. Yes, crypto is popular with younger tech-savvy demography but it is also making in-roads into the older demographic as well. Crypto investors would have more confidence in the CBA platform than other unknown platforms and this might, as you have indicated, gives a false sense of security. Other banks are probably waiting to see how CBA fares before they jump onto the crypto bandwagon. Mukul Desai, Hunters Hill

Sportswashing

Full marks to Peter FitzSimons for reminding us of Saudi Arabia’s appalling human rights behaviour and then trying to curry favour by giving large sums of money to various sporting bodies around the world (“Shark’s true colours come out in another Saudi sports wash”, November 4).

A huge shout out to Leichhardt Bus Depot who found my son’s sports bag left on the bus yesterday. Before I had even rung them to start chasing it up, they had contacted his school to report it as found and to arrange pick up.

Such a small thing in the overall scheme of things, but little things really make a difference to the world and help us keep smiling. Rebecca Semple, Abbotsford
