Checks from the government - Notice from the Federal Trade Commission

March 18, 2020
by Jennifer Leach
Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Business Education, FTC

As the Coronavirus takes a growing toll on people’s pocketbooks, there are reports that the government will soon be sending money by check or direct deposit to each of us. The details are still being worked out, but there are a few really important things to know, no matter what this looks like.

1. The government will not ask you to pay anything up front to get this money. No fees. No charges. No nothing.

2. The government will not call to ask for your Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.

3. These reports of checks aren’t yet a reality. Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer.

Look, normally we’d wait to know what the payment plan looks like before we put out a message like this. But these aren’t normal times. And we predict that the scammers are gearing up to take advantage of this.

So, remember: no matter what this payment winds up being, only scammers will ask you to pay to get it. If you spot one of these scams, please tell the Federal Trade Commission: www.ftc.gov/complaint. We’re doing our best to stop these scammers in their tracks, and your report will help.

The Mayor of Walton Hills, Safety Director and Police Department are in contact with the Cuyahoga County Board of Health and State of Ohio Department of Health.  The Village of Walton Hills would like to reassure residents that we are taking necessary precautions as recommended by State and Federal Government during the coronavirus health crisis.  The Police and Fire Departments are fully staffed and working normal shifts.  If you call 911 for an emergency with flu like symptoms our dispatch will ask you the following questions:

When did you last travel?
Do you or a family member have a fever over 100 degrees?
Do you or a family member have chills?
Do you or a family member have a cough?
Do you or a family member have flu-like symptoms?
Do you or a family member have a sore throat?
Do you or a family member have shortness of breath?

Please be patient while our dispatchers are asking these questions.  If you have any questions, please call the Village Hall at 440-232-7800.
