The Better Business Bureau is warning people not to share photos of their COVID vaccination cards on social media, saying it could make them vulnerable to identity theft.
Scammers are also using the photos to make fake versions of vaccination cards.
The cards contain people’s full names and birthdays, as well as information about where a person received the vaccine.
“If your social media privacy settings are not high, you could be providing valuable information for anyone to use,” said the BBB.
Scammers in Britain have already been caught selling fake vaccination cards on TikTok and eBay.
“It is only a matter of time before similar cons reach the United States and Canada,” said the BBB. “Publishing photos of your card can help provide scammers with information they can use to create and sell fake cards.”
The BBB suggested that people share photos of vaccination stickers instead of vaccination cards.
