The third round of stimulus payments are hitting bank accounts, but not all at the same time which is creating an opportunity for scammers.
Scammers are trolling through social media looking for posts that specifically talk about the latest round of stimulus payments. Scammers will then make a comment on those posts that includes a link to the IRS.gov Get My Payment website or at least that s what the link appears to be.
In reality, the links direct you to the scammers copycat website where they ask you to put in personal information so they can steal your money and identity. Many of these fake sites make it look like they re affiliated with legit companies, but they re not.
Americans are starting to see the third round of stimulus payments hit their bank accounts this weekend. But don't worry if you see a "Payment Status Not Available" message on the IRS Get My Payment tool it could mean your money hasn't processed yet.
