Advisory

U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND IRS WARN THE PUBLIC ABOUT SCAMMERS TARGETING ECONOMIC RELIEF PAYMENTS

Fraudsters are already attempting to steal Economic Impact Payments being sent out. The IRS will not call, text, email or otherwise contact you to ask for your information. This money is meant for you. Don't fall victim to scammers. #IRS - tell a friend! #COVID19

If anyone receives a call claiming to be from the IRS or any entity related to the Economic Impact Payment, the call is a scam and recipients should not engage with the scammer and absolutely should not give out bank account, debit account or PayPal account information-- even if the person claims it is necessary to get the relief check.

Please contact Grosse Pte Farms Dept of Public Safety if you feel you have fallen victim to this type of fraud.
