FBI: Woman Sold Fake COVID Test Results To Tourists

Miami’s NBC affiliate reports:

A Miami woman was arrested after authorities said she was selling phony COVID-19 test results to people who needed to test negative to travel. Melissa Stephanie Barbery, 33, was arrested Tuesday on a felony count of fraudulent use of personal identification information, an arrest report said.

The results were to be presented by people traveling abroad and entering other countries so the purchaser could avoid taking a real test, the report said.

Two undercover FBI employees purchased the test results from Barbery, one for $40 and the other for $30, the report said. The fake lab test results had the name Nomi Health Lab Services and the Miami-Dade County seal, the report said.
