Fake COVID-19 testing sites that are charging people and not returning results are popping up across Chicago, warns the Better Business Bureau.
Similar to Halloween stores, they have popped up everywhere. COVID testing sites can be found inside a convenience store, an empty store front or an old gas station parking lot.
Charging money, not returning test results, unmasked employees or asking for driver's licenses or socials security numbers are situations the Better Business Bureau has been hearing about from consumers.
