877-283-4408

714-462-8597 called cell 24 Feb 2020 at 11:13am and "Megan" left VM re: calling another number 877-283-4408 to discuss a student loan forgiveness program. But call back soon before the pre-requirement changes. Student loan robocalls are a twist on loan scams with a specific focus on student debt. This is a lucrative market for scammers, as student loans may be very large. Sometimes these scammers are just after your personal information. However, scammers may also offer payment reduction or debt forgiveness plans -- for a small fee, of course. Younger people are often victimized by these scammers. Young adults, with crushing student debt, often cannot resist the temptation of reduced payments or debt forgiveness. Be suspicious of any student loan offer received over the phone. Never make a payment to a student loan or debt relief organization that called you unsolicited.

I got the same call and msg. but I don't have a student loan

I haven't even graduated yet and I got this call today - number came from Washington D.C. 1-202-217-0754 on my caller ID but left the 877 number as the call back. I believe she said her name was Megan as well. Would love to know how she got my information that's for sure.

Megan offering student loan forgiveness.  Scam.

Megan called me yesterday (feb 25 at 11:39 AM) too!! Is this really a scam?

Megan called me yesterday with the same Student Loan crap. SCAM!!

I just got the same message from Megan mentioning loan forgiveness. Called from 972-853-8411 from Nevada, TX.

Megan call me twice and left a vm to call back.  I had just sent paperwork to my actual loan servicer and I assumed it was them calling me back.  When I did call back, another gentlemen answered and stated that Megan was with another student after placing me on a brief hold.  The first red flag was the hold silence and the little beep that indicates a robocall.  I use to work in collections so I'm pretty familiar with this sound and what usually follows (BS).  Anyway, the next red flag upon his return was when he asked me if I was currently making payments or had I fallen behind.... I had already discussed at length with my loan servicer about my loans and once again had already begun the real process.  Clearly this person did not have that information already.... to buy time while I began to search the call back number (which is what I should have done to begin with),  I provided the individual with the amount I made last year and my email but as soon as he asked for my SS#, I put him on infinite hold as I came across the scam warnings. (Thank goodness!!)  I immediately ended the phone call and began blocking the the previous numbers that were used.  Come to think of it, no company name was provided, at all.....which is also another red flag.  I just recently updated my phone information with my loan servicer and didn't get these calls until now.  Usually to avoid these scam calls, I do not give ANY servicer a cell phone or direct line.  Any correspondence is done via email or when I call into the loan servicer.  My suggestion for others would be to do the same within anytime you are inputing information on the internet even if it seems secure.  You are liable to receive phone calls that are scams, related to whatever platform you submit your information to.

Megan also called me from a Long Beach phone number 562- 512-2737 this was the message.

“Hey it's Megan with the student loan advisory board I'm just giving you a call in regards to your federal student loan balance is I have a great news for you um you can prequalified for the student loan forgiveness program however it is imperative that I speak with you soon as possible before the programs change so if you could just give me a call back my number is 877-283-4408 again that's 877-283-4408 I look forward to speaking with you and have a great day…”

“Megan” called from the student loan advisory board. My phone only rang once then she left me a voice mail. The caller id said she was calling from 714-384-7585 in Santa Ana, CA but the number she wants me to call her back is 877-283-4408. I have been on the federal do not call list since 2015 and I am sick of getting these calls!

“Hello this is Greg Braden call me _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ is still on the visor he bored could you give me a call back when you receive this and it looks like there have been some significant changes to your federal student loan repayment options and forgiveness program my direct line is I'm so sorry 877-488-2558 again that number is 877-488-2558 also if you can have your reference number ready when you called I'll be very helpful the reference number is 015715 thank you and I look forward to speak with you…”

I’ve also received this call from a “Megan.”

This Megan... called and left a message about student loan forgiveness. Total scam.

Megan called me today and left a VM. I called the number back. She started asking me questions and I cut her off to ask how do I know this isn’t a scam. She said “you can do it on your own.” I asked how and she said “ you can do your own research “ so I hung up 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just received this call about two minutes ago on 3/2/20. I don't have student loans (lucky me, right?) so I know it is fake!

Megan called and left the voicemail about loan forgiveness. Sounded supisous as I have received mail about loan forgiveness with their actual number to call. I wanted to see if the numbers were the same which they werent! Then googled her calll back number to find out MEGAN had been making a lot of phone calls to other people! Sounded too good to be true it most of the time isn’t ! Scam so I’m blocking her number

Did Megan have an indian accent ?

I knew it was a scam, because I didn’t even go to college haha!

Received a call from Megan 03/02/2020 also stated that i call her back at 8772834408

Received a call from megan with a zanesville, OH area code. Also wanted to talk to me regarding student loan forgiveness. I don’t have any student loans.
