Expert Opinion

Surprisingly, these calls often vanish before the phone even rings, leaving only a vague voicemail about a 'student loan' you never had. Most recipients report the number flashing quickly, then hanging up, which is a common hallmark of spam calls. If you answer, never share personal or financial details—scammers thrive on that info. Use your carrier’s built‑in call blocking feature or a reputable third‑party app to silence the number. Report persistent harassment to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection office. Keep a log of dates, times, and any messages; that makes follow‑up investigations faster and more effective.
