A lady who allegedly sold 250 phony vaccination cards on Instagram, @AntiVaxMomma, was one of the first dealers charged in the country, according to reports.
According to reports, Jasmine Clifford, 31, collaborated with Nadayza Barkley, 27, to sell counterfeit cards on social media.
Clifford allegedly charged $200 per card via Instagram and took payments via CashApp or Zelle. Alternatively, she may pay $250 to have her buddy Barkely, who works at a Patchogue medical clinic, enter people’s names into the NYSIIS database.
“We will continue to safeguard public health in New York with proactive investigations like these, but the stakes are too high to tackle fake vaccination cards with whack-a-mole prosecutions,” said District Attorney Cy Vance. “We need companies like Facebook to take action to prevent the fraud happening on their platforms. Making, selling, and purchasing forged vaccination cards are serious crimes with serious public safety consequences. This investigation is ongoing. If you are aware of anyone selling fake vaccination cards, please call my Office’s Financial Frauds Bureau at 212-335-8900.”
