The United States Treasury Department could soon start issuing relief checks to American families and businesses. Right now - the proposal includes sending two large checks to many Americans and devoting $300 billion toward helping small businesses avoid mass layoffs.
As we wait for word on how this will all work – BBB has a warning. Scammers are already using the relief money to find new ways to trick you into giving it to them.
If you receive a text, e-mail or even a phone call from someone claiming to be from the government with a check for you. BEWARE.
