FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) today warned of an ongoing phishing campaign delivering spam that uses fake government economic stimulus checks as bait to steal personal information from potential victims.
“Look out for phishing emails asking you to verify your personal information in order to receive an economic stimulus check from the government,” IC3’s alert says.
“While talk of economic stimulus checks has been in the news cycle, government agencies are not sending unsolicited emails seeking your private information in order to send you money.”
