Watch out for Scams!

Scammers never let a chance go waste, and sadly, COVID-19 is no different.

If you receive an e-mail, text message, or social media post or message, saying to “Click this link” to collect or pay money, DO NOT click the link. Call the agency or company directly.

Same if you receive a call demanding immediate payment by phone or banking information to “pay you,” DO NOT give it to them. Again, call the agency or company directly.

Bottom line, if you did not start the contact, end the call/text/e-mail and make contact directly with who they are claiming to be from.

DO NOT provide banking, payment, or any other information to an unwanted contact.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call us.

Some helpful hints to protect yourself, your family, and your other loved ones:

  • Your bank will NEVER ask for your personal or financial information in a message or call that you did not start.
  • The IRS and other government agencies DO NOT conduct business by text, e-mail, or social media.
    • The only text you may receive is a “Refund Status,” IF you signed up for it.
  • Social Security will NEVER ask you to verify anything in a message or call that you did not start.
  • Anyone, no matter who they claim to be from, that demands payment by gift card is a SCAM!
    • Hang up or ignore immediately and report to the local non-emergency number.
    • Please DO NOT use the 9-1-1 system to report a scam attempt.
