NH SBA

Multiple sources identified an SBA-themed phishing email that is addressed to, “Valued SBA Applicant” and signed by SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA). The body of the email requests user to verify the account, “due to high fraudulent claims and identity theft cases used by hijackers recently in regard to loan applications.” The statement is false, and the links could lead to financial or personally identifiable information (PII) loss.
Any email communication from the SBA will come from email accounts ending in sba[.]gov. Loan applicants should:
  • Confirm the application number referenced in the email is consistent with their actual application number.
  • Do not click on any links or open any attachments unless you are sure of the recipient.
Applicants who receive email correspondence asking for PII are often targets of email phishing scams. For more information on email phishing scams where bad actors are taking advantage through “SBA Loan Applications” please visit this site:
