PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Scammers who use a false promise of a COVID-19 vaccine have attracted the attention of a federal prosecutor.

U.S. Attorney Halsey Frank of Maine said federal, state and local agencies have fielded complaints about the scams. The scammers typically use demand for the vaccine as a way to pry personal information such as Social Security numbers from victims.
