No, folks, it’s not a scam. It’s real stimulus cash.
The envelope contains a prepaid debit card that is loaded with your stimulus payment. Do not throw out this envelope or toss aside this card, as it can contain up to $1,200 for single taxpayers.
The cards are marked Visa debit card and the back of the card has the logo for MetaBank.
