Alumni Assist Group Scam Calls - Loan Forgiveness Program

“HI it's Jamie here is my agent ID is 6944 and my phone number is 800-985-9752 um I was calling to let you know that your student aid is qualify for the forgiveness program we may be able to grant you a partial or a full forgiveness package but I'm just so you know this program has limited openings and is on a first come first serve basis so call back soon to finalize the details and again my phone number is 800-985-9752 you can talk to me or any other reps to finalize your file thank you to be added to our do not call list call 888-483-1408…”

I have received many of these calls, also from a different number every time. I listened to the last call more carefully. The friendly-sounding young woman scammer's message told me that she was from the "US Department of Financial Relief Services." The original post for this indicated that such an offer could only come from an official government agency. Well, as far as I can tell, the department mentioned is no official government agency, but I wanted to mention this here as it seems they are now making it *appear* that they are.

Julie Jones agent ID 1154

I called them, and mentioned my concerns because it was a cold call to me. They hung up on me. I called 23 times in total, spoke with 4 people total. Every other call was a pick up and then hang up.
I called a couple times trying to get the company name. They said, “is that why you’re continuing to call us?” Like you made it obvious you can see me calling.

In June, I got a call from "Jen Adams, agent ID 1691." She left the phone number (888) 681-1487, but she actually called me from (425) 217-1343. Then on August 4, I got a call from a Jamie with agent ID 6944. She called from (762) 220-4506 but told me to call her back at (800) 985-9752 about a loan forgiveness program. I called it back and spoke with a Mike V, agent 239, and he said he needed my email address. I gave it to him and he claimed he couldn't access my info and that I needed to call FSA. I happened to need to change my email address anyway, so I called the legitimate student loan office and updated it. He then called me back on a number that came up as (563) 649-6241. This is a scam. Do not give them your info.

**Ironically, in June, Jen Adams left 888-695-1468 and said, "This is our do not call list. To be added call this number." Do not call that number.

I received the same call this afternoon from "Julie Jones, # 1154." I called the number back, and curiously, a person immediately answered. I asked with whom I was speaking and he gave me his first name, and that he is with "AlumnI Assist." Scam. Blocked.

No matter how many times I block this call, alumnI assist keeps calling. I am reporting this number 888-480-0678 or 302-366-4233 to consumer complaints.
