Please be aware of potential fraud regarding Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks). Neither The Fountain Trust Company nor the IRS will contact you by phone or email to confirm your information in order to receive your payment.
If you receive calls, emails or other communication claiming to be from the Treasury Department and offering COVID-19 related grants or stimulus payments in exchange for personal financial information, or an advance fee, or charge of any kind, including the purchase of gift cards, please do not respond. These are scams. Please contact the FBI at www.ic3.gov so that the scammers can be tracked and stopped.
The IRS reminds 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 information saying that the information is needed to receive or speed up their Economic Impact Payment
- Suggest that they can get a tax refund or Economic Impact Payment faster by working on the taxpayer'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 information online in order to cash it.
Please note that the Treasury check for an Economic Impact Payment will be the same as the Treasury check for a tax refund payment, except that the check will have identifying text in the memo field stating "Economic Impact Payment" on the first line and the President's name on the second line.
