Tips for Westchester residents based on tricks scammers are using:

- Vaccine is expected to be free.

- There are no sign-up lists for vaccine.

- You can't pay to get your vaccine earlier.

- Medicare or Social Security won't be calling you about getting your vaccine (scammers often act like they are calling from government agencies).

- You don't need to give out SSN, credit card or bank info before you are able to get vaccine.
