Got a call this evening. Asked for my husband by first and last name. She, with heavy accent, said to him, "I see you have student loan debt, are you interested in making it go away?" He asked her, "where are you calling from, what company are you with?" She started to tell him that she could make it go away but when he asked for the company name again, she hung up. BTW we are in Baltimore and indeed this is not a valid Baltimore exchange.
We both knew it was a scam. However, they knew that the student loan was the one he co-signed with his daughter. Be careful. It doesn't take much for scammers to locate your information.
