Picture this: you answer a voicemail from an unfamiliar 800‑number claiming you’re pre‑qualified for student‑loan forgiveness. The script mentions an urgent deadline, a representative named Elizabeth, and a request for your Social Security number or credit‑card details. Treat any unsolicited offer that asks for personal information as a red flag, especially when it’s tied to a scam you didn’t initiate. Hang up, do not engage, and never share financial data. Report the number to the FTC, block it on your phone, and consider a credit freeze or fraud alert if you suspect your identity was exposed. Stay skeptical and protect your data.
The same person, allegedly 'Elizabeth,' has been encountered, highlighting the repetitive nature of such calls.
