This misleading robo recording is designed to sound as though you have a Federal Student Loan and your account was selected for loan forgiveness with up to 60% off monthly loan payments. That would be great if you have a Federal Student Loan and if the offer were genuine.
They've renamed themselves since their last call (now National "Relief Center" instead of National "Help Center") and I notice that the audio quality of this new recording is much higher than most other scam robo calls.
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?
There are two places with odd wording. First they say "...eligible to receive more than 60% off your monthly Federal Student Loan payment and your eligibility into this program expires[/i]." Expires when? Shouldn't they say it "...expires soon"? Why the sudden drop? Are they actually foreigners? Odd wording nonetheless.
Next they say "...press 9 to forfeit this information and be removed.[/i]" Don't they really mean "forfeit this offer"? Again, odd wording. They must be foreigners.
Here is a transcript of the recorded call:
[female voice] "Hi, this is the National Student Loan Relief Center. Your account has been flagged for a loan forgiveness program. You are eligible to receive more than 60% off of your monthly Federal student loan payment and your eligibility into this program expires. Press 1 to be connected with a live agent and enroll today or press 9 to forfeit this information and be removed."

Called my cell phone. Didn't recognize number so didn't answer. No message left. Number now on call block list.
As "John-of-Lower-Merion" noted above this must be a shotgun approach. At age 67 and never having had a college loan I'm sure I'm a prime target for this sort of call....Who are they kidding?!
