Scammers are exploiting the anticipation of a new stimulus check by sending fraudulent text messages claiming that individuals are eligible for a $1,400 payment. These texts often contain links to fake websites designed to steal personal information or money. The IRS has confirmed that no new stimulus checks are being issued, and any communication regarding such payments would not come via text or email. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has noted an increase in these scams, particularly targeting those who might be expecting or hoping for financial relief. The messages typically urge immediate action, creating a sense of urgency to trick people into providing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links. Consumers are advised to be cautious, verify any official communication through known government channels, and report any suspicious texts to the BBB Scam Tracker.
