8663039889

Ditto re: a voicemail from Brenda Nelson about changes to my Federal Student Loan.  I'm copying/pasting the voicemail for my email transcribes them. "Yes this is Brenda Nelson I'm calling in reference to your federal student loan. I need to discuss your repayment options with the new changes that have taken effect recently so if you could be sure to give me a call back my number is 866-303-9889 and I'm gonna go ahead and give you a reference number if you would have this handy when you call back it just makes things a lot easier. That reference number is 330005. Thank you."  As I do have a student loan, I contacted them immediately and of course, there is no one working there with this name!  Then, I Googled the phone number and found this thread.  Thank you all for posting your comments.

Never took out a student loan...ever, haven't been in school in 40 years. Obvious spam.
Message was, "Yes, this is Brenda Nelson. I'm calling in reference to your federal student loan. I need to discuss your repayment options with the new changes that have taken effect recently. So if you could be sure to give me a call back. My number is 866-303-9889, and I'm going to go ahead and give you a reference number. If you would have this handy when you call back. It just makes things a lot easier that reference number is 303-XXXX. Thank you."

I just got the exact same message today, 06/18/19. I am likewise in school and have a deferment agreement in place. Didn't even call back in case of phone call charges or some other such issue.

I received the exact same voice mail requesting I call the 866 number back. . I don’t even have any student loans. I didn’t bother to call back. The caller ID number 920-547-2184. No doubt in my mind that this is a scam.

Exact same message with exact same contact name of Brenda Nelson. US Cellular blocked the call for me

I have the same reference # ..geez what are the chances (sarcasm)

I got the exact same message, but I'm wondering if anyone called back. I tried,  but as soon as it disappeared, it dropped the call 4 times. It came from an unavailable phone number.

Got the same message!

Same call as all above with Brenda Nelson and a call back number and a referrencs number to have handy! Called back because in sick of the calls day in and day out! Of course the call doesmt go through and the number was restricted whwn they called!   Ive never had a student loan and my husband is a Director of Financial Aid / Studemt Funding, so I clearly dont think they should call me back

Spam spam spam
I never went to school

Just got the same phone call from the Brenda Nelson in the aforementioned posts with the same message:
"Yes, this is Brenda Nelson. I'm calling in reference to your federal student loan. I need to discuss your repayment options with the new changes that have taken effect recently. So if you could be sure to give me a call back. My number is 866-303-9889, and I'm going to go ahead and give you a reference number. If you would have this handy when you call back. It just makes things a lot easier that reference number is 303-XXXX. Thank you."

Never had to take out a student loan at all, my tuition were paid through scholarships, financial aid, and grants.

Same reference number as everybody here. Same msg. Called and they hung up soon after I told them what I do for a living. Private Investigation specialist dealing mostly with fraudulent and suspicious cases. Have to live the irony in that.

Shows unknown caller. Identifies as Brenda Nelson about new student loan changes with return call number as 866-303-9889 and Reference 330005.

I got the same call from Brenda Nelson about updates to my student loan.  I don't have any!!!!!

I got exactly the same message with reference # 330005.  I have never had a student loan, so I knew she was either phishing or scamming.  DO NOT EVER give your info to these kinds of callers!!

I received the same message from Brenda Nelson, a warm sounding professional voice. I called back out of curiosity. Being 74 years old I doubted the legitimacy of the call. If you are a student, press one; if you have loans under $10,000 or if you have loans over $10,000, press 3. Onward, if I had no student loans I would be removed from their lists and never contacted again and would not be eligible for their services in the future. Breaks my heart! Just another scam trying to use a friendly, concerned voice. All this is so tiring. No chance to talk with a human.

Just got a call from her too,  was suspicious.  Thank you for posting so I could confirm my suspicions. 😉

Just got a voicemail from her and was suspicious. Number calling shows unavailable but voicemail gave the 866 number. Thanks to everyone who posted a warning. I wish these people would get a life!

Yes I received the same message. I am in deferment. I too logged into my account and nothing has changed. This is spam.

Same as everyone else - definite scam. What a shameful way to make a living.  Watch out for these guys.
