Student Loan Forgiveness Scam

"Get your student loans forgiven — enroll now."

How this scam works

Callers promise instant loan forgiveness or lower payments for an upfront or monthly fee, posing as a government program. They harvest your FSA ID and personal info.

🚩 Red flags

  • Charges a fee for 'forgiveness' that's actually free
  • Asks for your FSA ID, password, or SSN
  • Pressure to act before a fake 'deadline'
  • Promises results that sound too good to be true

✅ What to do

Hang up. Federal loan help is free at studentaid.gov — never pay a third party for it.
