Stimulus Payment Scams are Still Circulating

Have you received a text message or phone call concerning your stimulus payment? Chances are, it’s a scammer trying to get your information and your money.

Becca Kelly Slaughter, Acting Chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has some words of caution and advice in this brief video.

Three signs of a scammer in action:

• The government will not ask you for payment to receive your stimulus funds.
• The government will not call, email, text, or message you on social media to ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number.
• The government will not ask for payment through money transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrencies.

Possible scams can be reported to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
