New York�s attorney general is warning consumers about scammers preying on Ebola fears with fundraising scams claiming to benefit victims and dubious offers of so-called preparedness kits that claim to contain preventive medicines.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says there is no approved vaccine.
He says scammers are �shamefully exploiting� heightened concerns since a few cases have been documented in the U.S. following an outbreak earlier this year in Africa.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says Ebola isn�t contagious until symptoms appear and isn�t spread through the air.
The CDC says people get it from direct contact with a sick person�s bodily fluids.
Symptoms include fever, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting and unexplained bleeding or bruising.
