How to Avoid Buying a Fake COVID Test
Updated: May 15, 2022
As home covid tests become more necessary, many scammers have taken to marketing fake covid tests. This has become such a problem that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has released a warning about this.
Here are tips the FTC recommends to help you avoid buying fake covid tests.
1) Make sure the test you’re buying is authorized by the FDA. Check the FDA’s lists of antigen diagnostic tests and molecular diagnostic tests below before purchasing to make sure your test is approved:
2) Check out a seller before you buy. Search online for the website, company, or seller’s name plus words like “scam,” “complaint,” or “review.”
3) Compare online reviews from a wide variety of websites.
4) Pay by credit card. If you’re charged for an order you never got, or for a product that's not as advertised, contact your credit card company and dispute the charge.
Home COVID Tests
As a reminder, the US Government is providing free covid tests to households who request them. You can request your free covid tests here. Here is an on-line tutorial for requesting these tests.
If you are purchasing your home covid tests online or at stores, please use this reference to find approved home tests, as not all home tests are legitimate.
