Scam Alert:
Some Americans are receiving emails notifying them of
their eligibility for another stimulus check from the federal
government, but President Biden is not sending out any
new direct payments—it’s a phishing scam.
Multiple local outlets have reported that their viewers

to be the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that allege
hundreds of dollars in 2023 tax refunds are available
if recipients provide missing information.
