Watch For Coronavirus Text, and Phone Scams

Tips from #LASD for Stimulus Check Package Scams

1. The government will not ask you to pay any fees or up front charges to receive these benefits.
⁣
2. The government will not call to ask for your Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.⁣
⁣
3. Issuing of checks aren’t yet a reality. Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer.⁣
⁣
4. Remember, government agencies do not communicate through social media. Be wary of unsolicited messages.
