These programs provide economic aid to hard-hit small businesses, nonprofits, venues, and restaurants. Bad\n actors may take this opportunity to impersonate lenders or government officials in emails, robocalls, social media accounts, and phony websites. Their goal is to attract victims and commit fraud, scams, and schemes.&nbsp; The result is financial or personally identifiable\n information (PII) loss for the victims.
