Officials sound alarm over virus relief check scams
The Hill
An IRS watchdog on Tuesday urged people to watch out for possible scams related to the federal government’s coronavirus assistance to taxpayers as lawmakers and government officials are seeking to prevent people from falling victim to schemes about the forthcoming recovery checks.
Under the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package President Trump signed late last month, known as the CARES Act, most people will receive direct payments of up to $1,200 per adult and $500 per child.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) said in a news release on Tuesday that people should be vigilant about scams relating to the checks because criminals have long devised schemes targeting government aid programs.
