Heads up: these calls are a classic student‑loan scam. Callers claim to be from a “processing department” and use the name Jessica Banner, a reference number, and a sense of urgency to get victims to call back. The voicemail often sounds personal, but the script is recycled across many reports. Do not return the call or give any personal data; block the number and report it to your carrier and the FTC. Consider adding the number to a spam‑filtering app and regularly update your Do‑Not‑Call list. If you’re unsure, verify any loan info directly with your loan servicer.

Falling prey to auto dialer lists can lead to frustrating experiences, as evident from numerous reports of repeated calls, lengthy holds, and abrupt disconnections. The underlying motive behind these scams is likely to extract personal information, which can be leveraged for future deceitful activities. Several articles have highlighted the risks of engaging with unknown numbers or lingering on hold for extended periods, as this can inadvertently provide scammers with valuable details. The most prudent approach would be to exercise caution and refrain from answering or returning calls from unidentified numbers, or consider using a prepaid phone for such purposes to prevent potential exploitation.
