Just got a text from them today!

I got the same text today. Still active it seems!

I just recieved the same text as well. Seemed shoddy so i had to research this myself.

I just got that same text about 20 minutes ago , I thought I was real . If I gave them my social what would happem

I got this message: "You're red flagged for student loan forgiveness with the Dept of Education. call 888 502 4860 today. no loans/wrong# reply STOP". Same scam

I got a similar message. I'm glad I checked it out online before I responded.

my text was from 1-408-831-9269 and said "Your student loans qualify for forgiveness through the Department of Education.  For more information immediately call 1-888-588-7534"  I have recently spoke with department of education and updated my number to receive texts...so i called.  It was an unprofessional guy that answered with just "hello" then coughed and said "hello this is ____"  first name only.  I asked who he was with and he sad US dept of ed.  I expressed my concern that it was a scam.  He said they would ask no personal info.  He asked if I was currently enrolled, if my debt was over 10,000, and if I was employed.  Then asked for my name and transferred me.  A lady answered and as soon as she started talking, we were disconnected.  I sure hope I didn't mess up by calling....never gave any other info to them :/

I keep getting calls for student loan debt and also texts. I never went to college.

I also got the same message !

You're red flagged for student loan forgiveness with the Dept of Education. call 561 717 0217 today. no loans/wrong# reply STOP I got this one it is totally a scam

Be careful when you text stop they charge you for the stop text. That is the scam

This scam is still active. I received the following text today: "You're red flagged for student loan forgiveness with the Dept of Education. call 561 717 0240 today. no loans/wrong# reply STOP"

For a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

Same here but from 55319

I got same one

I got it from that number as well

I just got this text from 31224.

I just got the same message.  I haven't been in school since 2001 and I dont have outstanding student loans!

I just got the same text today with the same number. You would think they would be able to catch these guys if they are using the same number. I have tried reporting these things in the past, authorities admit defeat before they even get started.

Just got this....Your student loan is flagged for forgiveness with the Dept of Education. Call Now 561-717-0870. Reply STOP to opt-out
