Fake Vaccination Chatter

 For a couple of weeks, if you look around the commercial 'underground' web sites of Germany...various ads are up to connect you to the purchase of Covid-19 vaccination 'solutions'.  Basically, you pay cash to get ahead of the vaccination line structure that the government has put into place.  

So I watched this German news piece last night.....this German reporter picked up the topic....gazed through the ad situation and selected one. 

The deal was made over the internet....the reporter would get the vaccine for two people....pricing set at around 360 Euro (figure $400 roughly).  

The arrangement?  Well....at this point, I was skeptical. The 'dealer' needed you to have some cash deposit ahead of time (you would buy some Google or Amazon credit at a local grocery, and provide the image of the card numbers to the 'dealer').  The amount?  100 Euro as a deposit.  

The meeting point?  Some rest-stop/truck-stop area near an autobahn.  I was maxed out on skepticism at this point.  

The reporter shows up....waits, and waits, and waits.  No one ever shows up.

No 'dealer'.  The amount on the card as deposit?  Gone.

So the bulk of these Covid-19 vaccination deals under the table?  All fake?  Mostly.  

How many of these advertisements existing?  Literally hundreds.

How many Germans are faked out on this weekly?  Unknown.  The police know of the affairs, but they don't really have the manpower to really go after these guys.
