Scams have been prevalent throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including when the previous stimulus payment was issued. Author: WKYC Staff Updated: 11:13 PM EST December 28, 2020
CUYAHOGA COUNTY, Ohio As we inch closer to receiving the next federal stimulus payment, the Cuyahoga County Department of Consumer Affairs is warning residents to prepare for a new round of scams related to the payments to follow.
As the relief payments are sent automatically and in predetermined amounts, you do not need to take any action to receive these funds. Scammers are already adept at twisting stimulus headlines to trick people into paying or revealing private information, Sheryl Harris, Director of the Department of Consumer Affairs, said in a news release. County residents should resolve now to ignore calls, texts and emails about stimulus payments or fraud - no matter how convincing they sound.
BUSINESS-While these times may be unprecedented, many entrepreneurs in LA will be considering or in the process of starting their own business.
Perhaps they’re fueled by the fact that many successful businesses were born during past US recessions, such as General Motors, HP, and Burger King. Or maybe they’re inspired by how online shopping is on the rise, with CNBC reporting that global online sales went up by 71% this second quarter, compared to last year’s numbers. Yet despite the business landscape looking good, many entrepreneurs in LA will be asking if it is a good time to start a business in the city.

Lots of fun little COVID things to go over. Did you know that cleaning is not really necessary?
At the start of the pandemic, stores quickly sold out of disinfectant sprays and wipes. People were advised to wipe down their packages and the cans they bought at the grocery store.
But scientists have learned a lot this year about the coronavirus and how it’s transmitted, and it turns out all that scrubbing and disinfecting might not be necessary.
If a person infected with the coronavirus sneezes, coughs or talks loudly, droplets containing particles of the virus can travel through the air and eventually land on nearby surfaces. But the risk of getting infected from touching a surface contaminated by the virus is low, says Emanuel Goldman, a microbiologist at Rutgers University.
