Receiving an email with the subject of a SAM “profile grade” is a marketing campaign from a company soliciting their services. If you received an email stating about your System for Award Management (“SAM”) profile 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
- Be highly cautious taking any immediate actions from incoming calls or emails regarding any of these topics
- If you are unsure, feel free to reach out to USBRI for advice or assistance
- Read the fine print at the bottom of the email before anything else
A number of these particular emails seem to speak of a an entity’s SAM “profile grade” in order to get a response from the email receiver. Your “SAM profile does NOT have a grade”.
