Stimulus checks sent to someone else's bank

Please allow me to clarify as I've looked through a couple similar questions. Personally NEVER entered in any banking info for my income, income tax, or IRS Stimulus claim. I got ONE check and someone wanted to cash it for me in her account. I didn't have a vehicle and I accepted the offer. all follow-up talk of stimulus was hearsay to me, because I was never mailed any other check. I found out much more recently that a follow up Stimulus check (or two???) were randomly deposited into her sons bank account??? Which is why I never received follow up checks? I have no legal bindings to these people, nor know their banking #s at all that even merit that?

I have attempted emails in the past to no avail I could find. is worthwhile to call the IRS's toll-free line? or is there a more fool-proof contact method for this particular issue?

I was moved right before, and have not been employed since CoVid19 hit. I've had therefore no w2s,1040, or the like to claim any income tax refunds since 2019-2020. I have been attempting to get reemployed, and in reality I only need ~$20 online to get some effecting mobility/transportation assistance in advance to ensure my commute is smooth without interventions and to avoid  more employers removing me from consideration. I am lucky to even have shelter from being considered homeless, so I have no assistance for my goal. Making it my primary reason for seeking out this option. Thank you for consideration in advance to your advice(s).
