As Lollapalooza returns to Chicago starting Thursday, the Better Business Bureau and FBI are warning of possible fake vaccination card scams at the large music festival.
Lollapalooza marks Chicago’s biggest public event since the city’s re-opening, with more than 100,000 attendees expected each day of the four-day event.
