Get an EIP card in the mail? Hereโs how to check if itโs legitimate
The Better Business Bureau has been receiving complaints from people skeptical about these cards, wondering if theyโre part of a scam. Theyโre called Economic Impact Payment (EIP) cards and theyโre loaded with your stimulus money. You can activate your EIP Card, set your four-digit PIN and check your balance by calling 1-800-240-8100. Itโs worth noting that you donโt have to pay anyone to activate your EIP card, so if someone tells you to pay them, that is a scam. Finally, donโt accidentally throw your EIP card away.
