888-266-3682

Got a check for $37.000. Yes it looks like an official check but when I Googled Steven Smithe, I gratefully found all the coments confirming that this is a scam.  Needless to say, I won't be making any call to 888-214-3485! Thanks to everyone  for sharing.

People are desperate for help why do scammers think that us consumers are not wise enough to Google everything? I received a letter with hope that I would be able to seek help and of course I came to the conclusion that it was too good to be true

Sooo Im not getting out of debt?? This thing had scam written all over it, what's scary is this this check look so legit. I wish I could get 18k. **sigh** oh well better luck next time.

Nope, it comes with a catch.  Huge interest rates and lots of advance fees.  Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors.

Fyi above the amount it says this is not a love check. Oh how I wanted it to be "live"

Same, got one today for $15k. Seemed shady that there wasn't a specific business associated with it. Glad I know now it's a scam, reporting them to my post office tomorrow.  8882143487 2000 Pennsylvania Ave n.w. #285 Washington DC  20006

I received too, the same letter for debt reduction for $18,000 , on 12/4/2016. It was very tempting and more in these time;  and I said:  What is the cash? I just Google and I find out, this is very Artful. Everything is equal to the opinion of all the messages read only change the phone number. 888-484-4117 .  Thank you for sharing this information so important and Not fall into their traps.

I got a check in the mail today for 23,000 dollars in student loan debt forgiveness through a program called SLAP. Wants me to call a number to set it up...

got a Check from Steven A Smithe telling me to contact them the check for 13.000 from slap student loan assistance, looks real however right above the number amount it says this is not a live check so I decided to google this number 888-219-1789 and found the comments on here that its a scam and I am glad I did because as tempting as this is right before the holidays and all I knew it couldn't be real. really who spells there last name smith with an e really fake as can be didn't call and going to report it.

Yeah i googled and i am posting do not call

Thank you for your comments i called too

Mine too

I received a check for $46,000. The number was different 888.262.5807

I received a mailer today with the same information, different amount and telephone# 888-834-4762. Apparently they haven't given up yet. Looks like they have been trying this scam since 2014. Be careful people

I got this official looking mailer today from 2000 Pennsylvania Ave. NW #285. It says Congratulations, I have so much in debt and they can help me be debt free in 12 - 36 months. My savings would be $18,000 and I don't even have that much in credit card debt. (That's be a good trick) It was also signed by John L. Clark. Says it's for my town only and the phone number I got was 888-655-3764. Says I have $30,000 in credit card debt (which I don't - no where near that) and they can reduce it to $12,000. I'm never late on a payment and pay more than the minimum due. How did they get my name and this misinformation. Have to contact them by 2/10/2017.

I just today received the exact same mailing - identical.  The phone number to contact on my mailing is 888-214-3658.  Maybe I'll call it and have some fun with them.

Wow, 50% reduction on student loan debt!  They really are trying, letter and check look decently official...  Anyways, same address as mentioned before, different phone number though - 888-293-3478.  Thanks all for sharing your experiences with these scammers.

my daughter just got this in the mail. Unbelievable.
