The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has discovered an email scam originating from **sba-attorneys.com** that seeks to create alarm among Paycheck Protection Protection (PPP) loan borrowers. The email falsely warns that PPP funds were issued to the recipient in error, and that immediate action must be taken to avoid "potential criminal liability."

If you receive such an email, consider marking the item as SPAM and deleting it from your inbox. **Under no circumstances should you reply to the sender** or click on any of the message's embedded links.
