(201) 591-9556 Robo call recorded 19 April 2017 ("...Emily...automated voice recognition, Student Loan Forgiveness Center, you may qualify to reduce or eliminate your Federal student loan..." HA!) SCAM
A misleading robo call from "Emily at the Student Loan Forgiveness Center" claiming that my Federal student loans may be eligible to be reduced or "full forgiveness". This is an automated voice recognition robo call, designed to sound like a live caller, but you can recognize quickly that it is not a live caller. I might add that the recorded voice is highly annoying.
In their previous calls I tried to avoid saying 'yes' after the bot didn't understand my very first 'certainly' or 'that is correct' responses. Instead, I didn't say anything at all but since the bot was programmed specifically only to recognize explicit 'yes' and 'no' responses, it terminated the call.
Their "shotgun" approach to making mass phone calls, hoping to find a few people who owe student loans, and their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethic, doesn't it?
Here is a transcript of this automated, voice recognition call:
"This call is now being recorded."
[female voice:] "Hello, how are you, my name is Emily. I'm with the Student Loan Forgiveness Center. The reason that we've been trying to reach you is that our records indicate you may qualify for a program that will reduce your student loan or even offer full forgiveness. Now thousands of students, just like you qualify for this program however most of them don't know it and miss out on the opportunity due to paperwork deadline. So would you like to hear how you may qualify for this time sensitive program?"
[they:] "I'm so sorry. I didn't hear you clearly. Would you like to hear how you may qualify for this time sensitive program?"
[they:] "I'm so sorry. I didn't hear you clearly. Would you like to hear how you may qualify for this time sensitive program?"
[they:] "Well, thank you for your time, and have a nice day."
