My husband and I both received voicemails from someone claiming to be Emma Martin, stating we're eligible for student loan forgiveness, complete with a special code, but since neither of us applied for it, and after researching this number, it seems like a scam
Emma Martin scam: Student loan forgiveness hoax exposed!

Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why a voicemail claims you qualify for student loan forgiveness you never applied for? Scammers are using a scripted pitch that creates urgency, offers a validation code, and cites a "first‑come‑first‑serve" rule to pressure you into calling back. Never share personal or financial details until you can confirm the organization’s identity through official channels. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC and your loan servicer. Keep a record of the call details, and consider signing up for the national do‑not‑call registry to reduce future unwanted contacts.
