NJ stripper behind fake vaccination card scheme, DA says

A New Jersey stripper was exposed as the alleged mastermind of a fake vaccination card scheme that sold 250 phony credentials, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and social …

A New Jersey woman created a black market for fake vaccination cards on Instagram — selling some 250 bogus credentials, including 13 of them to “public-facing” employees in the New York area, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

The scheme was allegedly quarterbacked by Jasmine Clifford, 31, of Lyndhurst, who advertised fake Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccination cards from her Instagram account, “@AntiVaxMomma,” prosecutors said.

Clifford would charge each anti-vaxxer who wanted a card about $200 and accepted payment through Zelle or CashApp, according to the DA.
===================================================
I hope she gets a significant prison sentence because of the harm she has caused.
 

I think that the people who bought the cards should be charged with "aiding and abetting".
 
I hope the throw the book at her.

At least she was smart enough to charge $200ea for a take of $25K. Some other chump recently picked-up 18 felony charges at 10 bucks a card! Fool!
 
i said this before but...


what kind of low life scum would have a fake VACCINATION card?
 
I suppose that one way to counter fake vaccination cards is for authorities to start so many scam vaccine card honey traps that everyone is afraid to trust fake vaccine card offers.

Nope. Charge them with fraud too.

It's only "fraud" if they used them.

I had a really neat collection of "fake ID" from all over the place at one time (including a Bulgarian diplomatic passport). As long as I had a legitimate reason for having them and didn't use them while purporting that they were real, I committed no offence except - possibly - enabling the parties that produced them to produce others due to the fact that I had purchased some "fake ID" from them.

We will NOT talk about the set of $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, and $100.00 plates for printing ■■■■■■■■ currency that I once obtained (just to show how easily it could be done).
 
you don't start an illegal business unless you have people who are willing to buy the illegal product.
 

Were the people that bought them handcuffed and taken to jail?

They should be but I'm not a lawyer. They obtained these faux cards in order to break a regulation, not a law. But impersonating someone else who has been vaccinated may break some laws.

HONOLULU -- A 24-year-old Illinois woman submitted a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to visit Hawaii with a glaring spelling error that led to her arrest: Moderna was spelled "Maderna," according to court documents.

In order to bypass Hawaii's 10-day traveler quarantine, she uploaded a vaccination card to the state's Safe Travels program and arrived in Honolulu Aug. 23 on a Southwest Airlines flight, the documents said.

"Airport screeners found suspicious errors ... such as Moderna was spelled wrong and that her home was in Illinois but her shot was taken at Delaware," Wilson Lau, a special agent with the Hawaii attorney general's investigation division, wrote in an email to a Delaware official who confirmed there was no vaccination record for the woman under her name and birth date.
