Thats true, when they called me I asked for their address so I could file a harassment complaint against them & they hung up on me. And no legitamate company will hang up on people, so from that action I knew they were scammers. I also called the Federal Student Loan fraud dept & asked them if this company worked for them & they said NO they are scammers, they told me to call the FTC on them which I did.
Report them to the FTC 1 877-38204357
