Anyone getting calls from the SBA?

Received a call from a lady at the SBA wanting to talk with me about my EIDL. I was hunting so I missed her call but when I got home I called her back. No answer so I hung up. Then a minute later another lady calls and ask if I want to increase my EIDL. All she asked was what my gross commissions were in 2019. She then said I could get this enormous amount of money and the new loan would be added to my old loan and payments would be deferred for 2 years again. Same terms as before.

My original loan wasn't very much but I have been thinking about paying off my house so I asked her if this could be done with this money. She said as long as I have a home office and conduct business there it is legal. I got her number and told her I would think about it. She made it sound like this program is swimming in excess and I should take advantage of it. Sounds too good to be true to me. You got to be careful how you spend borrowed money from the SBA. I do not want to be audited. Since when did a government agency make calls soliciting their loan program?

All of this sounds very familiar to what I have been seeing. They'll even call on Saturdays and Sundays which I find surprising. It seems like they can't wait to give this money away.
 
I got the same call... I didn't answer. Called back but got nothing. They never said they were from any Govt agency so I assume it's BS. If I do pursue it, I'll be calling SBA directly, not responding to some random phone call.
 
If you want a contact name and number with the SBA I can send it to you. This lady said she was with the SBA. She even had details about my current loan so I don't think it was a scam.
 
I received another call today. Lady made it sound like she worked for the SBA. Then she asked if I was sincerely interested and if so there would be a $2500 fee that I would have to pay. I said no and don't ever call me again.
