GOVERNMENT STIMULUS FRAUD

The US Government has announced a plan to send money to persons affected by the coronavirus pandemic. No statement has described how money will be delivered to eligible persons.
That gives fraudsters an opportunity to ply their heinous trade of scamming.
A caller purporting to be a government official may offer to deposit your entitlement directly in your bank account. For that to happen, the scammer would need your bank account number.

DO NOT give out your bank account number or any other personal information to this person.
