BEWARE OF SCAMMERS
Below are tips and suggestions for scams to watch out for:
Robocalls – do not respond to them, press any buttons, or provide any information. Hang up.
Emails and texts –
Be very wary of any messages about checks from the government.

Beware of emails claiming to offer medical information. To ensure you’re getting accurate information, go to the online source yourself rather than clicking a link in an email. Double-check any information yourself before you rely on it for any decision you’ll be making or pass it on to others as factual.
Other sources – don’t click on links to websites or sources you don’t recognize or know. You could allow a virus to enter your device. Instead, search for the website or information yourself.
