The Better Business Bureau is issuing a warning about scammers targeting people who are receiving their second stimulus payments.
The agency says scammers are contacting people and claiming that personal information is needed before a second stimulus check can be received.
It says if you're contacted about the payments by text, email or a robo-call, you should not reply.
The BBB also reminds people that there are no processing fees associated with the payments.
