If you received an email stating that your Dynamic Small Business Search or Small Business Administration (“DSBS” OR “SBA”) profile has a “grade”, follow these suggested steps:

    • Read the fine print at the bottom of the email before anything else
    • Be cautious clicking on links or downloading any attachments
    • Check the email address of the sender. Any email from the Federal Government ends with a “.gov” or “.mil, if not, then it is most likely a creative marketing email from a private organization offering services
