I do have over thirty years of IT experience, for what that is worth. I first checked it with databases of known scams and suspicious sites. The site did not appear on any of those.

I then went to the site and chose Step 1 - I need to register for a covid vaccine. The site then took me to a page to authenticate, with the options being text, email, or call. I chose email as that would provide me with more info based on where the email came from.

The email did, in fact, come from GMR.net, which leads me to believe the site is legitimate. Again, I am in no way stating this site is legitimate, or not, I am simply stating to those who did sign up for vaccines via this site that you probably have nothing to worry about.

Regards,
Joe
Thanks Joe. I was hesitant last night to sign my mother up, raised my red flags, so I logged out. Had planned on confirming this morning but then saw it on the front page of the paper & figured I'd go ahead & sign my mother up. I was EXTREMELY uncomfortable putting her personal info in. I hope everything turns out to be fine.
