Calls keep coming without leaving a message, and they identify themselves as Great Lakes. Many recipients report that the callers claim to be collecting on student loans they say you owe, even when the callers have no record of a loan. If you’re certain you don’t have a Great Lakes account, let the call go to voicemail and do not provide personal details. Block the number on your phone and consider adding it to a call‑filtering app. Request a written validation notice within five days of any future contact; the debt collector must prove the debt is yours. Report persistent harassment to the CFPB, your state attorney general, or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and keep a log of dates, times, and what was said.

It appears these calls are from student loan collectors, who, by law, can collect debts even after 30 years, highlighting the need for reform; in response, one can send a cease and desist letter, which may temporarily halt the calls, but the issue may persist with different collectors
While dining out on 8/5/08, my cell phone rang at 8:46 p.m. with a call from this number, despite having no affiliation with them.

I have only shared my number with friends and family, making this call unusual.
The caller either hangs up immediately or on the answering machine, regardless of who picks up.
No message was left following the call, which is consistent with the behavior of unwanted callers.
