Protect Yourself from Scams

1. IRS Impersonation Telephone Scams: In this particular scam, callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These scammers may sound convincing and usually alter the caller ID to make it appear that the IRS is calling. Victims may be told that they owe money to the IRS, or they may be told that they have a refund due. Scammers often leave voicemails with "urgent" callback requests. 
2. Email, Text Message, Phishing and Malware Schemes: The IRS has reported an increase in scam emails and text messages that are designed to trick taxpayers into thinking the IRS, tax professionals, or others in the tax industry are contacting them. These fraudulent emails and texts may seek information related to refunds, filing status, PIN numbers or personal information. They often include links to websites that are designed to look like official sites. These sites may ask for your personal information or contain malware. 
3. Email Phishing Scam - "Update Your IRS e-File": This scam took off during the first round of Economic Impact Payments in 2020. This phishing scam involved emails that contained the direction "you are to update your IRS e-File immediately." While these emails were fraudulent and not sent from the IRS, the emails mentioned USA.gov and IRSgov (without a dot between "IRS" and "gov") and appeared to be official. 

In addition to traditional Small Business Administration lending programs, the CARES Act created several new, temporary programs to address the economic challenges facing small businesses during the COVID-19 outbreak. These programs include: the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance (EIDL), SBA Express Bridge Loans, and SBA Debt Relief. To learn more about each option, please visit www.sba.gov. 

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness 

We encourage you to monitor legislative actions and additional SBA amendments to current PPP guidelines at www.sba.gov and www.treasury.gov. 

Our PPP forgiveness team is here to help borrowers navigate the forgiveness process. If have already received a PPP loan through Timberland and you have questions regarding the forgiveness process, please email our forgiveness team at sbaPPPforgiveness@timberlandbank.com.
