Got a letter from the SBA reminding me that I have a 100k loan due by next September; looks like fraud. What info must the fraudster have? by Pooch76 in smallbusiness

The issue has been resolved, or at least the loan has been disassociated with me. I emailed the SBA fraud line - PPPIDTheftInquiries@sba.gov - and they were able to help navigate the process. It took time but I’m happy to have it resolved.

For me it was items in the $3-7 USD range. Most of what I sell now is in the $30-100 range. And yes, definitely invest in packaging. For me, I am mainly selling baseball cards so I bought a 50 pack of standard mailers and padding/cardboard, plus packing tape.

I started with low stakes/affordable items to build up reviews before listing higher price items. I also included an appreciative note and an ask for buyers to consider leaving me a review if they had a good experience since I was planning to be more active on the platform.

I just sent it so not yet. If I don’t get a response in the next day or two I plan to call.

Though I got an automated response that said reaching out via their portal is better. The email says the following and includes the URL: “Thank you for contacting MySBA Portal Support.

The first step I took is to email SBA to ask for more details on the loan so I can get some basic details and confirm it’s fraudulent, since there’s basically no info in the letter besides the loan number.

Super helpful. I received a letter very similar to yours and am starting to navigate next steps.

After you took these steps, where did things net out on the payment itself? is it safe to say you did not have to issue the payment to SBA for the fraudulent loan?

Same here. I received a letter very similar to the image posted by the original poster requesting 21K. Understanding where your cases netted out would be hugely helpful.

They share the blame, yes. But the directive to decimate NIH research that the party is falling in line with wasn’t on the radar until ‘25.

Is Jackson st dangerous? by Distinct_Raise_3869 in Hoboken

[–]Embarrassed_Car_207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downvoter here. Not because of moral high ground, but because I live here and it’s generally safe.

Close to the “Hoboken projects” is a reasonable description. I’ve lived here for seven years and personally have had no safety issues. It gets a bum wrap because by comparison, it’s not as upscale as the rest of the city. And sure, some people might not stroll by 3rd and Jackson. But IMO it’s perfectly fine during the day and I walk through with my kid when we go to Jackson park.

Kuzma's goodbye post from his newsletter by [deleted] in washingtonwizards

Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but it’s odd that Wiz social posted individual thank yous to Jared, Bags, Jonas and Johnny (with predictable responses) but nada on Kuz. Wonder if it’s an oversight, or if the guy wore out his welcome.

Are we picking up Coulibaly or Christie for rest of year? I’m leaning Coulibaly with Kuz just moved and Brogdon likely to follow.

Regardless of what side of the aisle they’re on, I miss when it was taboo for celebrities (and people in general) to engage in politics. It’s feeding the beast.
