Expert Opinion

Recent patterns in complaints highlight a surge of bogus student‑loan outreach from the number 507‑208‑7913. Callers repeatedly use the name Barbara (or variations like Lisa Davis) and reference nonexistent repayment changes, trying to harvest personal or credit‑card data. The hallmark signs include unsolicited voice messages, a request to call a toll‑free line, and a fabricated case number. If you receive a similar call, do not return the number, block the caller ID, and report the incident to the FTC or your phone carrier. Verify any legitimate loan communication through official channels—mail or secure online portals—before sharing any information.

15072087913 Scam “Barbara”

I've received voice recordings from different women claiming to be 'Barbara,' stating it's urgent that she speaks with me about changes to the Federal Student Loan program and providing a reference number for a callback. The message sounds authoritative, but after speaking with my son, who inquired with the Student Loan Office, we discovered it's a scam. The government typically communicates through letters, not phone calls, and my son's loan isn't due for repayment yet. They've called multiple times over the past 9-12 months, and I'm warning others to be aware.
