Read full article: IRS: Michigan taxpayers need to watch out for new wave of COVID-19 scams as stimulus payments are delivered

DETROIT โ€“ Michigan taxpayers should watch out for a new wave of COVID-19 scams as the second round of stimulus payments are delivered, according to the Internal Revenue Service. โ€œWhile scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their efforts, taxpayers can still act as the first line of defense using some of these tips,โ€ Sarah Kull, Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Field Office said. โ€œTaking some very basic precautions could mean protection against a potentially costly scam.โ€The best way to avoid falling for a scam is to be aware that the IRS does not send unsolicited texts or emails. THe IRS does not call people and threaten jail time or lawsuits -- it doesnโ€™t demand tax payments via gift cards. Scams can be reported to the National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at 1-866-720-5721 or reported online.
