Please be aware of a recent scam involving people impersonating the Small Business Association. The imposters claim to be conducting “site visits” on behalf of the SBA. When contacted, the SBA states that they do not conduct site visits.
- SBA does not initiate contact on either 7a or Disaster loans or grants. If you are proactively contacted by someone claiming to be from the SBA, suspect fraud.
Additional scams involving the SBA and loans have sprung up since the COVID-19 Relief Act. You can read about other scams at:
