Good morning SABC Family,

It is very imperative that you read this message in its entirety. As most of you are aware, the federal government has begun to issue stimulus funds as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic.  As with other communications that have been issued regarding the virus, we want to give you a heads up on some of the scams that are being broadcasted on local news.

1. The Internal Revenue Service will NEVER contact anyone via telephone regarding these payments.  If someone contacts you representing themselves as an IRS employee, you should terminate the call immediately.

2. Computer hackers are sending out emails and asking that you click on the link embedded in the email for distribution of your stimulus payment. This too is a scam and if clicked on, will allow hackers access to your personal information. For your reference we have attached a direct link to the Internal Revenue Service that will answer any questions that you may have regarding the stimulus payment. Please utilize the link. The Office of the Pastor will continue to keep our members as informed as possible as events regarding this global pandemic unveil.

Humbly submitted,

Sis.Eldridge c/o Rev. Eric Wilson Sr.
