Scammers are sending fake IRS emails about Economic Impact Payments


There’s a fake IRS email that keeps popping into people’s inboxes. It says that you can get a third Economic Impact Payment (EIP) if you click a link that lets you “access the form for your additional information” and “get help” with the application. But the link is a trick. If you click it, a scammer might steal your money and your personal information to commit identity theft. It’s yet another version of the classic government impersonator scam. Here are ways to avoid this scam: Know that the government will never call, text, email, or contact you on social media saying you owe money, or to offer help getting a third Economic Impact Payment (EIP). If you get a message with a link from someone claiming to be from the IRS or another government agency, don’t click on it. It’s a scam. Scammers will often send fake links to websites or use bogus email addresses and phone numbers that seem to be from the government. Your best bet is to visit the IRS’s website directly for trustworthy information on EIP payments. Say no to anyone who contacts you, claiming to be from a government agency and asking for personal or financial information, or for payment in cash, gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. Whether they contact you by phone, text, email, on social media, or show up in person, don’t share your Social Security, Medicare ID, driver’s license, bank account, or credit card numbers. And know that the government would never ask you to pay to get financial help. Report government impersonators to ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Your report makes a difference. Reports like yours help us investigate, bring law enforcement cases, and alert people about what frauds to be on the lookout for so they can protect themselves, their friends, and family.

Sunday Message

“The Real Reason to Rejoice” Luke 10:17-20


Luke 10:17-20 17And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, LORD, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.


“If Your Name is Written in Heaven – You Should Rejoice”


“It is both his privilege and duty to rejoice in the Lord.” For one thing, we were rescued from the coming wrath of God; we were regenerated by God’s Holy Spirit; we were ransomed by Jesus giving His own life; and so remember that we too had the wrath of God abiding on us, but “you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1st Cor. 6:11). Rejoice in that my friend; again I say, rejoice!

GOD LOVES CHEERFUL GIVER

The Bible teaches that giving financially to the work of the Lord is a vital part of being a follower of Christ.
