This number is from an organization called "Academic Advisors", a group that purports to match a person up with the appropriate college for him or her. But the truth is they get your info from 3rd party sources, call you up, and then have the nerve to claim you actually signed up to get a call from them! And the colleges they promote are these sub-standard ones, too. Trust me, there is no matching that goes on because they've called up and tried to get my mentally retarded daughter to enroll in college. Really??? She barely graduated high school -- even with special education -- and was pretty much the bottom one in her class. Nor does she even want to enroll in any type of further education. So Academic Advisors, I scarcely think my daughter's college material.
My advice to everyone would be to steer clear of these scammers, who just want to prey on the vulnerable. Block their number and report them to your state's attorney general -- just like I did.
