Libby Baney Discusses the Social Media Marketing of Fraudulent COVID-19 Tests and Cures

According to a recent study, scamsters on the internet are marketing and selling unauthorized COVID-19 diagnostic kits and therapies via social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram. Partner Libby Baney commented on this issue in an article from Forbes.

In the article, Baney addresses the difficulty of pinpointing the amount of online fraud due to the vastness of social media platforms and the internet at large.

“We know there is illegal sale of medicines, substandard products, claims of fake cure and treatments on the internet, but quantifying that is really hard,” she said.
