IRS Warns About Stimulus Check Scams After Receiving Record Number of Reports

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is warning Americans about stimulus check scams after receiving a record number of reports this summer.
The agency announced in a news release Monday that phishing reports about the checks, also known as Economic Impact Payments, skyrocketed in June and July.
Scammers try to mirror legitimate IRS communications in order to convince taxpayers to enter personal information or even submit a payment, according to the agency.
