Please be aware that scammers are already out in full force. Stimulus checks have not been issued and there is no way to “skip the line” by paying or using a third party. Do not give you’re personal information to anyone!

Checks are yet to go out, but the Federal Trade Commission has already received 55 complaints about fraud and violation of do-not-call lists about the shady attempts.

With the recent news of COVID-19 Stimulus Checks, we at VIRASEC want to remind you to be aware of scammers!

Since it’s not every day that so many people get a financial windfall, watch out for scams.

These are two sure signs a stranger may be scamming you:

1. Require you to pay an upfront fee to receive your check.
2. Ask for your Social Security number, bank details, or other personal details by phone.

The Federal Trade Commission is reporting some scammers are stating you can receive your money now. These checks are not yet official. Nobody has received funds yet as of this writing.

Once the stimulus checks start going out, the scams will really start to ramp up so remain vigilant. Also make a point to tell your friends, relatives, and anyone else you think would be susceptible to fraud.

As many of us are relying on the internet more than ever to connect with the world, also watch out for fraudulent internet links. If you’re going to request your stimulus check, make sure you only visit websites with a “.gov” domain.

Let us know if we can help in any way!

This is certainly one to monitor. If you're using Network Solutions, give us a call so we can help make sure your take the necessary steps.

World's first domain registrar Network Solutions disclosed a security breach that happened in late August 2019, and allowed a third-party to infiltrate some of the company's computing systems without authorization and potentially access some customers' personally identifiable information (PII).

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our founder and friend, Wes Swenson. He was loved and admired by so many and this comes as a shock to us all.

Wes’ employees shared his vision for what VIRASEC should be and will honor his memory by continuing to provide the level of service he expected of us all.

We will never forget his leadership, dedication, love of life and above all, his friendship.
