Expert Opinion

Calls keep coming from this number, and nobody leaves a message. The pattern matches a skip‑trace operation often used by student‑loan servicers to verify references or update contact info. Callers rarely identify themselves clearly and may hang up after a ring or two, which is typical of verification calls that rely on a brief interaction. If you’re not the listed reference, politely tell them the person isn’t at your address and request removal from their call list. Never share personal data such as Social Security numbers or banking details. Consider adding the number to your phone’s block list and filing a complaint with the Do‑Not‑Call Registry if calls persist.
