Was anybody on the roads this past weekend? A friend of mine alerted me to the reason why there was so much extraordinary traffic all over the roads. She explained to me that the stimulus checks got deposited into people’s accounts on March 13th. That meant all that “funny money” was deposited into people’s pockets and they were hot to spend it. But that’s not the only thing that happened. 
Many of you will discover that there will be an abundance of emails coming into your inbox telling you that you’ve earned extra dollars and received extra resources and check . Not that you would fall for any such foolish scams but there are probably going to be millions of scam emails sent out over the next week and a half to two weeks. Tell your friends don’t fall for them because I know you won’t.
There are even some reports of people receiving a debit card worth the amount of the stimulus check but it’s always a good idea to confirm that it is a legitimate card from the government.
Just make sure there are two ways that the government is going to pass along those checks to you: either by direct deposit or by snail mail. Whatever you do, don’t even bother opening up those emails. The scammers will see that you were interested and they’ll continue to send emails, hoping that you’ll fall for one of their ploys. Don’t do it.
Masks aren’t the only thing you need to stay safe in this pandemic season… a bit of common sense goes a very long way.
