Steve Harvey fans slam death hoax after host targeted for fourth time in a year by sick online rumors

FANS of Steve Harvey are fuming after an apparent artificial intelligence-generated article claimed the beloved Family Feud host died.

Newsbreak is a popular app that provides smartphone users with the latest news and foreign affairs from different news publications.

In this case, Harvey’s fake death announcement came from the online website Trend Cast News.

The byline of the article read “Future Tech Prediction.”

“I woke up to this Steve Harvey passed ‘news’ and just reading the headline, I knew it was bs but bro,” one person wrote and shared a screengrab of the push notification.

“This NewsBreak app just posts/shares anything. I have a love hate relationship with this app.

“They want to be credible but allow whatever.”

A second fumed, “Gmorn’n did anyone else wake up to Steve Harvey passed away news and it was a spam or virus link.”

“Nearly had a stroke when I got news that Steve Harvey passed away,” another said.

Harvey has not responded to the death rumors but has been active on X, sharing his usual motivational content with his 6.1 million followers.

Americans urged to check if they’re owed cash as $20 billion in uncashed paychecks and refunds is up for grabs

One in seven Americans are owed money through an uncashed paycheck, refund, or deposit, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administration (NAUPA).

The NAUPA recommends that Americans review their annual update or six other websites.

MISSING MONEY

One website, Missingmoney.org, which is endorsed by the NAUPA, commits to effectively directing unclaimed money to its rightful owners.

It uses a “multi-state database platform” to search and claim forgotten funds.

The website states the average claim value is $2,080.

Americans who believe they may be owed or are missing money can visit Missing Money’s website or unclaimed.org.

Next, if it is determined they are owed money, users must submit a free claim through the platform.

Finally, if accepted, the user must connect to the state to securely transfer the funds.

BUREAU OF THE FISCAL SERVICE

Another website to visit to find unclaimed money is the US Department of Treasury.

However, the federal agency underscored that it maintains its records and has no government-wide centralized database on unclaimed government assets.

TREASURY DIRECT

In 2000, the Department of the Treasury launched Treasury Hunt, a website where users could search for “matured, uncashed savings bonds.”

The bonds must be over 30 years old and no longer earn interest.

IRS REFUND

Those looking for information on a missing federal tax refund can visit the IRS Refunds page.

Users need a social security or taxpayer ID number, filing status, and the exact refund amount on the return in question to search for the funds.

WORKERS OWED WAGES

The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division has a program that conducts investigations that recover wages owed to employees.

Users can search on the department’s website to see if there is unpaid money in their name.

If users are owed money, they must file a claim through the platform to retrieve them.

US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING

Finally, the US Department of Housing established the HUD Refunds program to allow users to check their eligibility for a refund from the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Federal Housing Association.

Travis Kelce drops major hint over NFL future with ‘last hurrah’ mention following Kansas City Chiefs ‘struggles’

TRAVIS Kelce revealed a clue about his eventual retirement from the NFL after the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory against the Cleveland Browns.

The nine-time Pro Bowl NFL tight end hasn’t impressed fans when it comes to his play on the field.

During his New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce spoke about the Chiefs’ win on the road in Cleveland.

The 35-year-old grew up in Cleveland Heights and admitted that he isn’t sure “if it’s the last time” he’ll play in the Ohio city as his 12th season in the NFL continues.

“It felt so surreal. I don’t know if it’s the last time I’ll play in Cleveland but it kinda felt like I was giving it one last hoorah before I’m done because I’ve only played there twice in 12 years,” Kelce told his brother and co-host Jason Kelce.

He continued, saying Sunday’s game “was a special day for me personally.”

Kelce recorded just four catches for 27 yards at Huntington Bank Field.

The three-time Super Bowl champion hasn’t exactly wowed on the stat sheet consistently this season like in years past, posting over 70 receiving yards in a game just four times in 14 games.

Kelce also only has two receiving touchdowns.

The Chiefs have still managed to win 13 of their first 14 games of the campaign.

And Kelce is on pace for his fourth 100-plus reception season.

Recently, retirement rumors have been in the air concerning Kelce as he and Kansas City look to win their third straight Super Bowl title.

The boyfriend of music icon Taylor Swift was asked about possibly leaving the game of football in the not-so-distant future during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show in September.

“I’m still enjoying coming to work. I’m not dreading practice,” Kelce said.

“I’m just having so much fun and just so appreciative and so fortunate that I’ve been able to come into year 12 and still have this energy and this love and the ability to get to work.”

Kelce and the Chiefs will have the tough task of playing three games in 10 days.

After beating the Browns over the weekend on December 15, they will host the Houston Texans on Saturday, and then face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.

Kansas City can clinch the No. 1 spot in the AFC with two wins in their final three games.

The Chiefs’ season-finale game will be against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, January 5.

The squad hopes to have the injured Patrick Mahomes suit up this weekend.

Mahomes practiced fully on Tuesday and Wednesday after suffering a mild high-ankle sprain in Week 15.
