Possible COVID-19 Payment Scam Scammers may try to steal personal information from Minnesotans who qualify for federal COVID-19 stimulus payments. Government agencies – including the IRS and Minnesota Department of Revenue will never call, text, or email you to request your personal or banking information for stimulus payments. The department does not have a role in issuing these or other federal payments. What should I do? Be aware of phishing calls, emails, or texts that include language such as: “In order to receive your stimulus payment by direct deposit, you must confirm your bank information.” If you get a suspicious email or text requesting information, report it. Do not click on links or open any attachments. Where can I find more information? For details on federal stimulus payments, check Coronavirus Tax Relief on the IRS website.
