These calls are almost certainly a scam targeting anyone with a student‑loan background. The script mentions a fake eligibility line, personal validation codes, and urgent language to pressure you into sharing personal data. Never give out Social Security numbers, birth dates, or banking details over the phone, especially when you didn’t initiate the contact. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection agency. If you’re unsure, contact your loan servicer directly using a verified phone number. Stay skeptical, verify independently, and protect your personal information.
