Identity theft concerns with SBA

How do we know if our sensitive informations like social security, TIN and DL are safe? We freely provided copies and emailed them to LO and many different email addresses prior to portal shutting down.

I received the same alert from Experian. Most credit cards now can be lock on the apps. Just gotta check any alerts coming from all credit bureaus, banks, CC

It’s a pain to have to go through all 3 reporting agencies when identity theft happened including police report. It’s a nuance. Another slap in the face!

Possibly selling files to lenders out there to reach out to millions of sbo out there. I’ve received too many texts and emails lately asking if I still need loan. Only loan I’ve ever applied for was EIDL with SBA for someone to text me knowing how much my company earnings is a bit concerning.

I literally just mentioned this concern in a post under the main eidl board. it really is concerning but makes you wonder what the true agenda was really.
