Dept. of Revenue warns of COVID-19 scams
Department of Reve-
nue warns of COVID-19
scams
The Oregon Depart-
ment of Revenue is warn-
ing taxpayers of calls and
email phishing attempts
related to the novel coro-
navirus, or COVID-19,
pandemic and federal
government relief pay-
ments. 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
