Scripps News reported:
American taxpayers are being warned about a new text scam where IRS imposters are claiming individuals are eligible for $1,400 stimulus checks.
"The message contains a fake link that mimics an official IRS website," the BBB said in a statement. "Clicking it may lead to malware or a fraudulent form asking for personal or financial information. The IRS does not contact taxpayers via text, email, or social media, and they will never request information this way."
