FBI Warns of Stimulus Check Scams

The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) issued an alert warning of coronavirus-related phishing attacks, particularly surrounding economic stimulus checks. The news that the US government is likely to send upwards of $1,000 to most Americans has created a golden opportunity for scammers, especially since the delivery method for the cash is still uncertain. 

"Be cautious of anyone selling products that claim to prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19," the Bureau says. "Be alert to counterfeit products such as sanitizing products and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including N95 respirator masks, goggles, full face shields, protective gowns, and gloves."

Coronavirus-related fraud has skyrocketed, and we've covered many examples of it in the past few weeks. The FBI says to be wary of this trend when you seek information about the topic online.

Your CDS rep Rick Creasey helped us in getting remote access today, a job that Zach Hamilton and Tyler Watson had started last week. All of them did a great job in getting our laptops working for home use under these extreme circumstances. We would like new laptops to have this same remote capability when they come in, as it looks like we may be doing this for some time.

Thank you for your help. Hope you and your family are safe.

Bruce Goble, MFP Tech, Champaign was fantastic. Even during this COVID-19 craziness he still responded quickly and professionally. The printer is working great now. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and
returned a few days later to replace the part.
