Scammers are exploiting recent political headlines by sending texts and emails claiming recipients are eligible for a $2,000 tariff rebate check. These messages use urgency, official-sounding language, and fake government-style websites to pressure people into clicking links. In reality, no tariff rebate program has been approved or authorized, and the president cannot issue such payments unilaterally. Clicking these links can result in stolen personal information or malware being installed on your device, both of which can lead to identity theft.
