Expert Opinion
Looks like this is a scam. Callers claiming to be Carol Richards and offering SBA EIDL loan upgrades are trying to harvest personal data from unsuspecting business owners. Hang up immediately, never provide banking or Social Security numbers, and avoid clicking any links they may send. Block the +1‑844‑424‑0814 number through your phone or carrier, and report the incident to the FTC and the SBA’s fraud hotline. Keep a record of the call details in case you need to dispute unauthorized activity. Stay skeptical of unsolicited loan offers, especially when you have no existing SBA loan.
