On Friday, April 16, 2021, at approximately 10:40 a.m., Mr. Beun arrived at the prearranged location, an Akron, Ohio hotel.

Welcome to the Oregon FBI’s Tech Tuesday segment. Today: Building a digital defense against the dangers of posting COVID-19 vaccination information online.

Last week, we talked about fraudsters who are selling fake vaccination cards on the Internet. One way they get those realistic images of cards to sell is by stealing them off legitimate people’s social media pages.

For that reason, once you have received your COVID-19 vaccine, the FBI is asking that you do NOT post a photo of your CDC vaccination card online.

There is more than just the problem of bad actors re-selling images of your card, though. They can also use your post to harvest lots of personal information—which can include your name, date of birth, patient number, and location where you received your vaccine. Once a fraudster has these details, he can steal your identity and do all sorts of damage to your financial health.

If you have already posted a photo of a vaccine card, consider removing it and update your profile picture with a banner or a sticker saying that you got your shot. Some social media platforms have frames or graphics you can use—or you can download stickers from www.cdc.gov.

Finally—if you feel that you have been a victim of identify theft, contact your financial institutions immediately and monitor your credit reports.

You should also report the incident to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov or call your FBI local office.

Special Agent in Charge Stanley M. Meador is pleased to announce Dr. Bonnie Price as FBI Richmond’s Director’s Community Leadership Award recipient for 2020.

Annually, since 1990, each FBI field office presents the Director’s Community Leadership Award to an individual or organization in recognition of their extraordinary contributions to the education and prevention of crime in their communities.

Dr. Price, an administrative director within the Bon Secours Richmond Health System, is a certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) for Adults/Adolescents (SANE-A) and Pediatrics/Adolescents (SANE-P), and holds an Advanced Forensic Nursing Certification (AFN-BC).

Dr. Price, along with a team of law enforcement officials, prosecutors, victim advocates, and medical professionals established the Richmond Regional Human Trafficking Collaborative (RRHTC) in 2016. Since the RRHTC’s inception, she has served as the chair and has been instrumental in fostering professional relationships which ensure victims’ needs are met, rights are preserved, and best practices are adhered to while enhancing investigative and prosecutorial outcomes.

The RRHTC also seeks to educate its members and the community at large. Dr. Price has incorporated training components during RRHTC meetings focused on how gangs infiltrate sex trafficking, international trafficking victims assistance, available resources from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, shelter resources, and monitoring changes in the Commonwealth’s Codes dealing with trafficking. Dr. Price has also led the RRHTC in supporting multiple local and regional training and education panels within Central Virginia.

The commitment Dr. Price has demonstrated to law enforcement and the community in support of raising the awareness of, and response to, human trafficking and the coordination of essential resources is laudable and worthy of this recognition. On behalf of the FBI Richmond Field Office, we are honored to present her with the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award for 2020.
