Stimulus Checks: IRS Warns Against Medicare and Medicaid Scams
Pop Culture
The IRS has seen a rise in the number of scams and fraud related to US citizens' coronavirus stimulus money. The pandemic has kept people in their homes for months, with some in the government trying to ease burdens by providing money. Unwittingly, the government is also opening the door for criminals and con-artists to take advantage.
"We urge people to take extra care during this period," IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig told people according to AARP. "The IRS isn't going to call you asking to verify or provide your financial information so you can get an economic-impact payment or your refund faster. That also applies to surprise emails that appear to be coming from the IRS. Remember, don't open them or click on attachments or links."
