8668615070

Same exact thing here. I didn't answer and I didn't call back but I almost want to just to mess with them a bit

I got the very exact call from Melissa but it was a New Mexico number 575-205-6098 but said to call back 866-861-5070

Same here.  They call relentlessly.  Melissa Spence with an agent i.d. and even provided me a reference number. I have over one hundred calls from this number.  They are fill up my messages and make me miss important business calls.  Why isn't this illegal?

“Hi yes this is Melissa _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ in my agent ID 80136 I'm calling you today in reference to your student loans and I need to discuss your payment options with you um there's an _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ changes to your account to take affect recently so if you can call me back as soon as possible the number is 866-861-5070 and I'm also gonna go ahead and give you a reference number to have handy when you call back um it was just thinking the lot easier if you have that that number is 25342 and although this is time sensitive I've gone ahead and extended the matter to remain open on your account until Friday so again the number is 866-861-5070 thank you so much…”

it appears Melissa is at it again...same info as others have stated

I received a call from the number 224-236-3564, agent named Melissa.  Regarding a sudden change in status of my student loans and said it was an urgent matter.  She advised she extended "the date" to Friday.  And gave me a callback number of 1-866-861-5070.  Obviously not legit.  Dept. of Ed loan payments have been suspended due to COVID.  There no changes at this time.

Just got the same ph. Call that was recvd in March(& this is OCT) about student loan by many who have reported this student loan scam.
Ph # to respond  Is the same 866-861-5070 but the call itself showed up as Dora,AL

They continue to call me from different numbers all day. This time they left a voicemail and said their name was martha. But other than that the information on all the other entries is the exact same

add me to the list... Melissa called to say my student loans were in trouble. My loans are just fine. Just a scam for folks hoping to get information.

They called me from Chesapeake VA. They sure get around!!

I just got the same call from a Melissa, agent number 0136 from 1-866-861-5070. She left a message on on my answering machine saying something was urgent about my student loan and she could extend the time for me to reply until Friday.  My student loaned was waived earlier this year. I went ahead and called the number and a man answered. He asked if my loan was $10,000 or more? I replied that my loan was waived and asked what this was about. He promptly said he would take me off their call list and hung up.  He never said what company he was with. Definitely a scammer.  Shame on these people in the wake of the covid pandemic we are in and  the financial struggles a lot of us are suffering right now. I hope reporting it here helps and these shameful people are caught.

I received the same call from Melissa and received many calls from her with a reference number. I’m glad people are writing in about this. I figured it was a scam since I do not have an student loans but there’s so much identity theft in the world that it’s been in the back of my mind.  But now I am assured this must be a scam. I have had so many kinds of scam calls and when they are relevant to your situation it can be scary and you can be easily tricked into their scam. They often have some of your real information; including name, address, last 4 of social, etc. And they will ask you to verify information usually in order to tell you what information they are trying to scam you about. It’s always trying to get your money. SO... IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE STUDENT LOANS DO NOT CALL OR ANSWER OR CALL BACK anyone that you do not know for sure is handling your loans.  Melissa is suggesting she is overseeing your loans and Melissa is lying:) If you answer accidentally, Never say yes on the call to anything. Even saying yes when asked is your name “......“ Can be twisted into saying yes for any service they are promoting or even worse stealing.  I don’t know the extent of this scam but there are some nasty ones that are tricking people more easily because they have upped their game.  I wish there was more control over the ability for people to get your phone number these days. But Be safe and Good luck!

I've gotten numerous calls and assumed thdy were valid bc I am disabled and haven't followed through my reinstating my loan forgiveness. I was explaining to guy why i hadn't returned calls sooner due to having 3 brain surgeries since last Oct and dude literally hung up on me and then I heard a recorded message that my request to be removed from call list was granted and I'd never be contacted again by them. Sketchy stuff for sure. I'm so glad I gave zero personal info.

I have a voicemail exactly as described by so many others, urgent student loan issue.  Wont be calling them back.

Add me to the list too! They have gotten good. They have a company name and an address now. These scammers are good - be careful!!

The same for me. I'm tired of getting calls like this.

I got the same exact message here but didn't call back as i wanted to see what others may have posted.  Glad that i checked the web first.  Definitely not calling back.

Almost one year later, from the previous messages in 2020. Same recording for me, "Melissa" calling about urgent changes in our student loan account. It went to our recording machine and I deleted it after reading comments here. Thanks very helping each other!
