Expert Opinion
Surprisingly, the same hotmail‑linked bait shows up in every report. Callers claim you need to verify a non‑existent student loan forgiveness or reduction, often urging immediate action through a short‑term URL. The tactic is classic phishing and relies on fear of missing out. Never share Social Security numbers, bank info, or click unknown links. Hang up, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your carrier. Consider registering with the National Do Not Call Registry and enable call‑screening apps. If you suspect a scam, consult the official loan servicer directly before taking any steps.

They try to scam me with a student loan, they gave me a url to opt out, i hope i didnt make a mistake
A caller attempted to scam me by claiming I had a student loan, which is absurd given my brother's age; this is clearly a scam from a disreputable site.
