EIDL Scam Watch: Verify Before You Trust
Learn how to verify SBA and Treasury communications, identify unsupported debt-relief promises, and confirm private-company disclosures before sharing information.
Private companies are not government agencies. Verify senders through official contact channels and treat guaranteed outcomes, government-affiliation claims, and pressure for immediate payment as warning signs.
What to review
Start with the date, sender, balance, and response instructions on your document. Compare those details with the source-backed process described here before deciding what questions to take to SBA, Treasury, or an independent professional.
What happens next
The next step depends on the current servicer, the age and status of the debt, and any review rights described in the notice. The exposure assessment organizes those facts without replacing legal, tax, or financial advice.
