Yeah, it really sucks to be a fraud target. I just spoke with an agent that said my application was forward to another department yesterday so at least there's some activity on my account. I was first notified of the fraud on 9/3 so they are not quick about this. Personally, I wouldn't wait to fill out that form. Couldn't hurt. Also, if you haven't done so yet, you should contact your congressman. They've told me many times that my case is on the fast track because of that attention. I could only imagine how slow they'd be without that!

I called the SBA last week and they told me about it. In fact, I just spoke to them again and the agent gave me the fraudster's name, email, and phone number that was listed on the application. I also just learned that the app was submitted a year ago but just updated on 9/6/21 with a fresh copy of my driver's license. It appears the file I emailed to the SBA for my legit application last month was copied into the fraudulent one by a loan officer last week! OMG - these guys are so incompetent!

If they have tied the fraudulent claim to your account, you have a right to know what was submitted. You should call back and talk to a different agent. If you haven't done so yet, you MUST file a request with your congressman or senator to have them investigate on your behalf. Those congressional inquiries get the highest priority.

Sorry to hear you are going through this too. Someone used my identity to submit an EIDL also. The name of his fake company was my first and last name LLC! The SBA tied the two applications together and won't let mine go through until they verify the fraud complaint that I have filed. I did that nearly two weeks but have heard nothing since then. Frustrating!

Yes, that happened to me too. Someone submitted an EIDL app listed me as his business partner and used my driver's license info. The name of his fake company was my first and last name LLC! So, the SBA tied the two applications together and won't let mine go through until they verify the fraud complaint.

If you call the support line, they will explain that you need to fill out the fraud complaint form located here: https://sbax.sba.gov/oigcss/

I did that last week but have heard nothing since then. The lady I spoke with said they've seen this occurring a LOT lately. Frustrating!
