An unwanted call from this New York City cell number arrived today. When the answering machine picked up, a recorded message with a female voice stated that I was eligible to have my student loans forgiven. This came as a big surprise, since I paid off my last student loan more then 30 years ago, but robocallers (unlawful telemarketers) wouldn't necessarily know that.
Whether it is a student loan scam, a credit card scam, a free vacation scam, a solar energy scam, a computer repair scam, an IRS scam etc. etc., a scam is a scam is a scam (to paraphrase a famous 20th century poet).
DON'T BE HOODWINKED BY THESE TELECRIMINALS. LET YOUR ANSWERING MACHINE TAKE THEIR PATHETIC CALLS.
This number is being used (spoofed) by a collection agency in an attempt to get "us' to answer the phone as we are not answering calls from their published phone number.
Called me about Obama student loan. Dumb me fell for it until I got an email. Pretty much they asked me info on student loans and my email I used to create my student loan account. Than they got access into my account to see "how much loans" I had out so they could tell me what % loan forgiveness I qualified for .... Than I got an email that they accessed my account and changed my FSA ID. I hung up on them and called the federal loan company asap to get this fixed!
Rcv'd call about Obama student loan that 65% loan forgiveness I qualified for, but I am not a student and I don't have any student loan. I just hung up.
