Picture this: your phone lights up with a call from +18664445432, and the voice claims to represent Great Lakes. Before you share any personal data, pause and verify the caller’s credentials by calling the official Great Lakes number listed on your loan statements. Ask for a written notice that explains why they’re contacting you and what action they expect. If the call is about student loan issues, confirm that the account matches your records; many scammers pose as debt collectors to pressure you. You can also register the number on the National Do‑Not‑Call Registry or block it via your carrier. When in doubt, contact your loan servicer directly and report suspicious calls to the FTC.
It's worth noting that falsifying reviews as a consumer violates FTC regulations and can lead to fines and sanctions
Apparently, this individual is trying to deceive people with unrealistic promises, including a guaranteed winning lottery ticket and a dubious deal on swamp land in Oregon.
Apparently jimmy d is right, they contact you cause your student loan is behind or about to default, they will help you and tell you how to prevent your lender from defaulting your student loan, you are foolish if you dont talk to them.
He's probably just trying to scam me, pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
Honesty is the best policy, and he's being truthful about the number, perhaps this will stop morons from thinking it's a scam or collection agency, especialy if you've defaulted on a student loan
This guy deservs to be on the naugty list
Tonite the scamers are out...
Great Lakes, a student loan servicing company, can assist with student loans, and it is recommended to contact them to avoid default and collection fees
It's absolutly ridiculous that a debt collector would call about a student loan, making a joke about suicide, which is completly inapropiate.
Following a series of calls to my mother, I eventually returned the call and was surprised to find the representative to be extremely helpful, as they were trying to reach me regarding my government college loans, which were at risk of being sent to collections at Sallie Mae, and they even assisted me in negotiating a payment plan with Sallie Mae, which I appreciate, and I'm grateful for their assistance
A message was left claiming to be from Great Lakes, they implied my brother was in trouble and they needed to reach him, very infuriating experiance
The company name is Great Lakes Repayment Solutions, thats all I know.
