It's been just days since the IRS began sending out child tax credit payments — meaning tens of millions of families have started to receive up to $300 per child — and already the agency is warning American families about scammers trying to steal their money.
"Be alert to criminals who ask you, by phone, email, text – or even on social media, to verify your information," the IRS cautioned on Wednesday.
Such contacts are fake and should be ignored or reported.
