Some of them specify that the Red Cross is offering free testing (which is why the Red Cross is even mentioned in this thing), either as a just "as is" statement or "on behalf of the CDC". In the past they've offered free testing, free vaccinations, or requested donations. They have always been fraudulent scams.
In other words - this is not a new scam. That's what I'm getting at: that this isn't a new thing.

It may not be a new thing but it may be new to some folks. Why not let everyone know there are bad people out there. I hadn't heard about this before so I was very appreciative to my friend to inform me of the dangers out there.
