These scams can lead to tax-related fraud and identity theft. Taxpayers should watch not only for emails but text messages, web- sites, and social media attempts that request money or personal infor- mation. “Oregon taxpayers should take extra pre- caution to guard their personal information CORONAVIRUS HELPFUL TIPS FROM THE CDC wear a mask qualify to receive a stim- ulus check do not need to sign up, apply, or ver- ify any personal infor- mation, online or else- where.” The Oregon Depart- ment of Revenue and the IRS remind taxpayers that scammers may: • Emphasize the words “stimulus check” or “stimulus payment.” The official term is economic impact payment. • Ask the taxpayer to sign over their economic impact payment check to them. • Ask by phone, email, text, or social media for verification of personal and/or banking infor- mation saying that the information is needed to receive or speed up their economic impact pay- ment. • Suggest they can get a tax refund or econom- ic impact payment faster by working on the tax- payer’s behalf. This scam could be conducted by social media or even in person. • Mail the taxpayer a bogus check, perhaps in an odd amount, then tell the taxpayer to call a number or verify infor- mation online in order to cash it. Taxpayers should look out for phishing emails asking them to verify their personal informa- tion in order to receive an economic stimulus check from the govern- ment. While talk of eco- nomic stimulus checks has been in the news cycle, government agen- cies are not sending un- solicited emails seeking taxpayers’ private infor- mation in order to send them money. Phishing emails may also claim to be related to: Charitable contributions, general fi- nancial relief, airline car- rier refunds, fake cures and vaccines, as well as fake testing kits. The IRS doesn’t initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages, or social media chan- nels to request personal or financial information. People should be alert to scammers posing as the IRS to steal person- al information. The IRS initiates most contacts through regular mail You should wear a facemask when you are sick and you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare SURYLGHU·VRIÀFH,I\RXDUHQRWDEOHWRZHDUDIDFHPDVNWKHQ\RXVKRXOG do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes.
