Student loan scam, continues to harass from different numbers

• Aug 19, 2023

I received a call from someone that said they were trying to help me get signed up for the student loan reduction program. I receive many of these calls but the sound of this one was more official, or at least I thought. He asked me to verify my name and address, then asked for my birthday twice, then stated there is a code coming to my phone read it to him, and a ping ok message was received. I saw it was an FSA password reset link... OH NO, he was trying to get into my federal loan page as if he was me.

I called the number listed on a debt forgiveness website geared for people who attended various scam schools including American Intercontinental University. I was immediately prompted to pay $1500 for them to discharge my student loans.

PRO DOCS SOLUTIONS--"Elizabeth" left a voicemail saying they have me prequalified here for the updated forgiveness program. I called back believing she was from the loan servicer. Interestingly, using that callback number 800-503-4395 does not identify the company name nor the "officer's" name. The person who answered was Camara who very professional in her manner and logged into my FSA account by sending a 6-digit code verifying my phone and asking a few "confirming" questions like me DOB, address, email, etc. She confirmed my loan amount due and asked me to write down the following 3 numbers: $54531 loan amount due, $2958.64 payback, $51,572.36 FORGIVEN. She said I need to pay $493.11 today, then $205.46 monthly for 12 months. She sent a link to register and load by debit/credit card info. As I did it, I got an alert text from my bank confirming that it was me doing the transaction. I hung up with Camara and called bank confirming it was me, and I asked if they have had issues with the WIC DOCS name on the transaction and the rep said no, so I proceeded. I got an email notification that my FSA password had changed and told Camara when I called her back and she said they had to change it and gave it to me. She then sent a link for the 4-page contractual obligation to make payments using a credit or debit card only. She did not leave me time to read, but rather to initial, initial, sign, sign and submit. I asked her twice about her company, and she responded that Dept of Ed contracts companies to help people complete applications who don't want to spend time filing documents or in court (?) I received an email from Jhanielle@Compliance requested copies of my license and W2A/tax return and I sent it. A couple of hours later, I logged into FSA and changed password, and the site acknowledges receipt of the application--but also has a yellow ALERT banner at the top of the Forgiveness Application page about companies doing this type of scam when the loan servicer will do it for FREE. I immediately read the contract which states that they are consolidating my loans--nothing more. The Cancellation paragraph requires written notification at [email protected] within 14 days but no refunds when paid using ACH as those applications are immediately processed. I went to that site and cancelled even though my application was being processed. I called my bank fraud number, but unfortunately, I had given permission for the first transaction so I would need to wait until all payments are made. AND IF the scammer's promise did NOT happen, they will refund the total amount paid. Camara called in response, I think, to my cancellation notification and said she will not refund the initial payment but will stop subsequent payments unless I call her back--we'll see. NOTE: the cancellation page site has disappeared as of 10/13/2022.

Called me and said it was a way to get a free grant of 36000 to help if I have at least 10000 in debt, when I got to the operator they said they were accurate loan services (?), When I called back the recorded line said it was student loan forgiveness center of Illinois

My daughter got called about her loans. They somehow got my number and now they won't quit calling me.

- Mount Carmel, TN, USA

This number and individual who left the number on my voicemail has called numerous people and has been reported numerous times. I've been receiving calls from various numbers by someone named "Melissa Spence", saying she's "calling in reference to my student loans and need to discuss your payment options with you." She gives her agent ID as 0136 and says "while it's urgent that you contact us, I will extend your deadline until Friday." She then gives me a reference number that apparently belongs to everyone else she calls, 25342. I haven't called when she's left me voicemails but those who have, based on sites with accounts of scam calls, say that her and her associates ask for immediate payments to enter into student loan forgiveness status.

A man called to say I was approved for a student loan.

- Centralia, MO, USA

They keep calling trying to get my personal information and when I don't give it they hang up. When I call back they have a different hold message and the person hangs up when I try to talk to them about details. Also they won't stop calling and use my ex-husbands name as well even though we are not and Ave never used same number.

A caller says her name is Allyson and tells my 84 year old friend that her student loan is past due and to return the call at 866-605-0502 and use case number 5506. She has never had a student loan. The call comes weekly but my friend does not answer soo this is a message. I have told her to ignore it but I am sure it is a senior scam!

- Johnston, IA, USA

I have received multiple calls from this number in regards to paying off student loans that I DON"T have. The voicemail is this, " Hello this is Amy Newman, I'm calling in reference to your federal student loan, um, I need to discuss your repayment options so if you could be sure to give me a call back my number is 866-614-3443 and I'm gonna go ahead and give your reference number if you would please refer to that when you call back that'll make things a lot easier, your number is ######, thank you."

- Brooklyn, NY, USA

Received a text message that read "I didn't receive your docs for student loan debt forgiveness. Call us back at 330-789-4896 or we will terminate your claim." This number is not associated with my loan officer, and it is a scam.

- San Angelo, TX, USA

I've been receiving phones call claiming to be about a student load that I'm supposed to have. When I select the options I provide I get someone on the opposite end, but when I inform them that I don't have any student loan debt, they immediately hang up on me without so much as a "sorry we called by mistake" or any other considerate words! They just hang up. I've tried several times to tell them I don't have a student load outstanding, and they always hang up on me when I inform them of my situation! I'm very suspicious of their behavior! Why would someone call in regards to a student load and when you try to speak with them, they hang up on you! Yet, they continue to call, over and over again! I have two phone numbers I've received calls on: 325-277-9085 and 224-258-1740, but each time they call the number is different and so is the voice at the other end! Could be they are voice printing individuals for a government database of voices, you might say! Anyway, that's all I have to say on this matter! Have a nice day, if you please!

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

Call over and over to the point of harassment offering help with a student loan. I try to block the calls but they change numbers frequently. I just want the calls to stop.

- Lawrenceville, GA, USA

A call said I had 24 hours to respond or would not be eligible for student loan forgiveness. Was asked to press “2” to speak to someone. Person on the line spoke broken English and there was a lot of noise in the background like they were at a restaraunt. I asked for a call back number and insisted I could not talk. They promptly hung up on me.

- Conway, AR, USA

It's a recording saying her name is Emily and tells you that you may qualify for a student loan. Found out that they are doing what you call spoofing where they take peoples numbers and use them to call. It's a scam.

- El Paso, TX, USA

I got a phone call saying I could get approve for student loan forgiveness. I gave them my federal student aid information. Thinking it was them calling me because I got an email about my password from them, the scammer Reset it and needed the code that was sent to me. I gave it to them, they got all my information. But then he asked me for my bank information, I told the scammer if they could call me back at 2 because I was going to start driving and they never called me back. So I got another phone call from a different number about student loan forgiveness and I told them if it was them that called me yesterday? The guy on the phone handed up on me, every time I tried calling it would hang up.
