- SueJust going to leave this here from Navients website!

I too received this phone call which I didn't answer. The voicemail I got had a good moment of silence then the caller says "time sensitive program apparently and I need to call back by the end of the week , we can help". HA!
So I research...... find this thread with all of the scam mentioned....proceed to Navients website, surprise, I cant find this number listed!
Then I come across a section on thee Navient website warning people of fraud!!!! Imagine that! (excerpt from the website fraud warnings shown below)
This all reminded me of a "student loan forgiveness" program attempting to sign me up but they need a payment of $500.
First red flag!!!! If someone needed loan forgiveness for student loans they couldn't make monthly payments of $50-$70, what on earth would make this place think they can shell out $500 to enter into a program?!?!? Not only that but asking for a PIN that you should have on record. 2nd red flag!!
Anyway, RESEARCH people and don't take someone for their word just because they promise you the moon and the stars!
Scams are out there and it is up to YOU to not fall victim to them!
Other comments stated on this thread saying the call is legit are probably the people involved in this scam trying to encourage their fraudulent practice to suck every penny out of their prey.
Don't buy it! If it sounds too good to be true, it more than likely is too good to be true.

Protect Yourself From Fraud
Some third-party companies may claim they can reduce or eliminate your student loan debt, but they charge fees for services that Navient and other federal loan servicers offer for free.
Know the Facts
Navient is committed to helping our student loan customers achieve successful loan repayment, and we are here to help you. If you are having trouble managing your student loans, contact us.
Contact Navient
Don't Get Ripped Off
There are companies that will try to take advantage of you with promises of "student debt relief."
They use aggressive, misleading marketing practices promising you thousands of dollars in savings, through websites, links, and advertisements designed to look like they are part of the federal government.
Or they may say that they have special expertise, special access, or an affiliation with the Department of Education or Navient and other federal loan servicers.
Don't fall victim to companies who promise to fix your student loans if you give them control over your account. Don't pay to enroll in a payment plan that's available for free for all borrowers with federal student loans.
Danger Signs
These danger signs may indicate that you are dealing with a fraudulent, so-called "student debt relief" organization.
##You are asked to pay high fees in advance. Avoid any company asking you for money before they do anything.
##You are asked to sign a power of attorney or third-party authorization, AND you are asked not to talk to your loan servicer once you sign the paperwork; or you are asked to provide your federal student aid Personal Identification Number (PIN). Signing unnecessary documents or severing contact with your federal loan servicer may make it easier for the company to defraud you … and harder for you to recover any money you lose to them.
##You hear a promise to lower your loan payment immediately, cancel your student loan debt, or provide immediate relief from default or garnishment. Under federal student loan programs, debt relief companies do not have the ability to negotiate with your creditors for any special treatment of your loan.
##You are told their company is affiliated with the U.S. Department of Education, with Navient, or with other federal loan servicers. Be very suspicious if a company uses a logo that resembles a government seal, or misuses words or terms that make it appear to be endorsed by the federal government.
Always contact your federal student loan servicer with any questions regarding your federal student loans.- Caller: Navient

- me replies to ConcernThis is related to a scam. Navient called me because my name was used as a reference for a person that I do not know. You say that we are a country founded on your talking points, but we are a country where these points no longer matter and sadly so.
- Formersec| 2 repliesThis is a number for Navient or someone claiming to represent Navient. I've received numerous calls from various telephone numbers, looking for Gregory Wilson. I've explained repeatedly that I'm not Gregory Wilson and he is not at the phone number they are calling. Still the calls persist. I am ready to consult an attorney to pursue an action to make these calls stop.
- Caller: Navient?
- JustinCase replies to FormersecGood luck trying stop them, Navient isn't exactly known for being organized and up to date on information. You can try blocking every number they call from (they've got a slew of them) or possibly threatening them with an attorney. If they're unable to harass somebody, either by phone or mail, you seem to be erased from existence. If all else fails, send them a cease and desist letter signed by an attorney.
- BigA replies to FormersecYou need to send them a certified, return receipt cease and desist calling or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested). You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to. Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment. If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it. Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front): http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

- MThis number was given as a call back # from a Rick Russo from Ambient Dept of Ed. The # on caller ID was 615-432-4223. The referenced my daughter's name. The telephone companies need to really crack down on people using other numbers in caller ID. The number in caller ID should only reflect the actual number the caller is calling from.
