The third round of stimulus payments are hitting bank accounts, but not all at the same time which is creating an opportunity for scammers.
Scammers are trolling through social media looking for posts that specifically talk about the latest round of stimulus payments. Scammers will then make a comment on those posts that includes a link to the IRS.gov Get My Payment website or at least that s what the link appears to be.
In reality, the links direct you to the scammers copycat website where they ask you to put in personal information so they can steal your money and identity. Many of these fake sites make it look like they re affiliated with legit companies, but they re not.
Like many of you, I have been aggravated while tracking my stimulus with the IRS s online tool. Here s a workaround that will allow you to accurately track your stimulus.
This has been a frustrating week for many Americans, to say the least. Not only is America handing out billions of dollars to big companies and foreign countries while everyday Americans are receiving only $600, but a lot of Americans still haven t received their second stimulus at all.
That alone is the problem everyone should be upset about. Second stimulus in nearly a year. That is beyond absurd to me.
Many Americans are not only dealing with a floating stimulus that is showing no signs of depositing into their accounts, but also have to deal with an equally busted and confusing tracking tool provided by the IRS.
