[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3773082, member: 3448"] I had a situation somewhat similar. During the covid shutdown I received a letter from state unemployment agency that I had been approved to receive benefits. I was not unemployed or had I applied for unemployment benefits. I contacted the state, but nevertheless received a debit card a week or so later. My payroll manager told me that the scammers have hacked the account and as soon as I activate it the scammers will withdraw the money. As long as I didn't activate the account they couldn't get the funds. Several thousand like me were targets. [/QUOTE]
