Got unwanted call from 866-260-8228?
Good ol' "Jessica Peterson" calling to a hospital laboratory phone number about "my" student loan.
Jessica Peterson calling in reference to changes to my student loan
I do have a student loan I am currently paying. Not sure why they would want me to call them. They are not the Federal Government. Hmmm, don't think so. They never said what company they are from either. I say it is a scam.
Called saying name was Jessica Peterson from phone number 706-940-5504 claiming that the call was in reference to my federal student loan and that I should call 866-260-8228 to discuss repayment options.
