North Yorkshire Trading Standards have warned people in the area to look out for Corona scams.
There's a warning from Trading Standards in North Yorkshire that people in the county are being tricked into buying fake COVID testing kits online.
Joanne Boutflower, from the authority, says although some online market places have removed the fake products, others remain.
She insists anyone who does need to buy a test should find the details on the government website:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
