I just got a text message from a number claiming to be the IRS saying "You are eligible to receive a $1,400 Economic Impact Payment." The message asks me to "provide accurate personal information" and claims they'll "deposit the amount into your bank account or mail a paper check within 1 to 2 business days." The text came from someone named "youdede_weifangjiu_weihaoteng_1" and includes a link to "irs.gov.instruc-tax.com". They want me to reply "Y" and then reopen the message to click the link or copy it into Safari. Here's the full text of the message I received at 5:37PM (my battery was at 68%): "Internal Revenue Service (IRS) You are eligible to receive a $1,400 Economic Impact Payment. Please provide your accurate personal information. We will deposit the amount into your bank account or mail a paper check within 1 to 2 business days. https://www.irs.gov.instruc-tax.com (Please reply with "Y," then exit the text message. Open it again, click the link, or copy it into your Safari browser and open it.)" I tried clicking but couldn't get it to work. Something seems off about this but wanted to check if others have received similar messages about Economic Impact Payments. The weird username, the strange instructions about exiting and reopening the message, and especially that suspicious URL that looks like it's trying to appear official but isn't actually an irs.gov domain - all red flags to me. Has anyone else gotten texts like this recently? Should I report this somewhere?
I almost fell for something similar last month. These scammers are getting real creative with their urls
fr they be working harder than the actual IRS š¤£

Document everything! Take screenshots of your debt amounts and keep records. Had to fight for 3 months to get my excess refund back last year because of 'processing errors' smh

protip: call your state tax agency directly, not the irs. theyre usually more helpful with state refund issues tbh
