- Calls for urgency are a red flag.
- The phone number they use is not a recognized number and isn’t affiliated with any Student Loan Debt Forgiveness program.
- The paragraph that offers a way for you to be removed from the list is odd to have on an email where the organization is trying to get in contact with you. These are normally for sales type Spam.
