Re: Got an unsolicited debt card in the mail

There’s been talk of a second stimulus check.

I was figuring that’s what they would do. So I’m keeping it.

I’m saving it to pay my non deductible property taxes in January.

Got an unsolicited debt card in the mail

Looked all official Visa card with my name but no middle initial.

Never had a debit card, don’t want one.

I have received lots of junk like this before.

Taked about fees, how much at an ATM, etc. Call to set up a pin.

I was tempted to cut it up and trash it, but I saw a very faint Department of Treasury logo in one corner at the top. I read it carefully it said Department of Treasury not Treasure.

I went to google and searched unsolicited debt card. Everything was a scam. Reduced search to just this week. All scams. Reduced search to 24 hrs. One link from a story from a tv station in Austin saying some stimulus checks were being sent as debit cards.

It was from Money Network ( just screams scam). Talked about Economic Impact Payment Card. No Trump signature anywhere. Doesn’t say Stimulus Payment anywhere.

Ive enclosed the Treasury logo.

Decided to visit the bank in person. They had seen one before.

Yes it’s real. My stimulus check. Took 45 min. But the money is in my account. Verified it.

Look for it. Don’t throw it in the trash.
