Who Called Us

I got the same call from "federal student education loan" wanting personal info. I was alarmed when he asked if " I was young and what I was majoring in". I asked why he needed this info and he hung up. Be aware they have also tried asking my mother and father information but also hung up pn them when they questioned him. --very aggervating.

PHN-
There are several ways in which companies get your name and info. One of the biggest ways is through other lead generating companies who usually get their info from the credit bureaus who sell your information to them. I know this is common in the mortgage industry. All a company has to do is contact one of the credit bureaus and ask for criteria such as your name, address, phone number and approximately how much in student loan debt you have. Being as how scholastic funding group is mentioned as a client of Teremedia (above Post) I assume they purchase their information from this group and this group in turn collects information probably from sources such as the bureaus and possibly from Kaplin and other sources. I think your best bet is to call up teramedia and request to get off of their marketing list. They are the ones selling these people your information and I assume if we bug the source enough, they may quit selling leads to companies who abuse telemarketing calling practices.

I also received a call from an asian-sounding woman from the Scholastic something corp. She said she was with the federal department of education and that, being that I'm a college student (I made the mistake of telling her) am qualified to get reduced rates on my loans. She verified my address, name, and home number and needed my federal loan account number which she said is the same as my social security number to finalize the transaction. I was uncomfortable with giving my ss# but she reassured me that this message was recorded by the department of education and that we both would be transferred to them. I still wasn't comfortable but she kept insisting that it was legit. I asked her for a number and name so that I could call her back. She gave me the number (201) 266-0092, when asked for a name, said a name real quick that sounded like Cair (rhymes with air), said she'll try back tomorrow, and hung up real quick before i could say anything. I too have taken kaplan related exams for a teaching credential (the cbest and cset). Maybe that's how that received my info. BASTARDS! STOP.. PLEASE!

`Coc_ suckers Keep asking for Joesph

companies like this purchase leads from other companies who do their research and get your information. Here is the phone and fax number to teramedia as well as an email address. I say we cut them off at the source.

Just confirmed, Scholastic funding group is a client of teramedia.
teramedia.com

One more thing, While I can only guess, being as how this guy registered their website and seems to be part of a lead generation company that sells data for people with student loans, it may be worth checking out. lists.teramedia.com

Here is more info from their website.

Lets start placing their 866 number on various lead sites where they will be called numerous times a day. If you see any of these mortgage websitesor any other lead that asks for a number, put theirs in it.

Try calling 866-362-5659 and ask for the supervisor. Then state that you want removed from their call list and that each time they call get the name of the person making the call and their supervisors name then call the above listed number to report what has happened - this company is owned by Kaplan (ACT, SAT) testing services.

The Scholarship funding group is a fraudulent company and my experience is not even worth mentioning. Please donot give anything about yourself . Best of luck.

I have been called on saturday afternoon by some Asian woman, I told her to call back later.I have been recieving lots of phone calls like this since 3 months before graduated. Im sick of it it. THey called again this morning at 7:30. Thanks to everyone on this site. I have had so many calls about consoldating my student loans I do not know what to believe anymore. Put my number on the no-call list this morning. Leave my fucking cell phone alone.

these assholes keep calling at all times of the day and night... i graduated 11 yrs ago and have no loans yet when i tell them this, they argue with me. i asked for proof and they hung up BUT called back the next day. i spoke with james who is very arrogant and told me if i cant pay my debts then i should not have gotten into them. I HAVE NO DEBTS AND WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!!! HE ASKED IF I WAS SINGLE AND MAYBE I NEED A MAN TO TAKE CARE OF ME!!!! I HAVE SOOOOOOOOOO HAD IT

i spoke with some guy named James and asked him to take me off their list and he HAD THE NERVE TO ASK ME IF I WAS SINGLE CAUSED I SOUNDED ATTRACTIVE!!!! THEY CALL EVERY DAY AT ALL HOURS NOW THIS!!!! I HAVE REPORTED THEM TO EVERY FRAUD COMPANY

5x in 3 weeks asking for someone I've never heard of. I've spoken 3x to their sup but even 1 sup asked "Do I have a girlfriend?" The people at 866-362-5659 sound sympathetic, but we'll see if their DO NOT CALL list works. The NJ BBB says they have an "unsatisfactory record":
trenton.bbb.org

So I just recieved a call from these guys. At first they seemed legit, had all of my info and I (sadly and embarassingly enough) did give my SS# out (after much haggling with what sounded like an oriental woman). She put me on hold to talk to a loan supervisor, and I was disconnected. So I looked it up here and saw all the talk of this being a scam! is there anything I can do now that they have my ss#?!

They have been calling me almost every day between 8 and 9:30 p.m. for a few months now- if I don't answer they call back every 5-10 minutes until 9:30 - sometimes when I answer they hang up - other times they keep trying to give me options for a student loan I do not or have ever had - I have told them to quit calling me - I'm thinking of filing some kind of a harrassment complaint to the phone company to keep them from calling me! What's the deal????

This is the number for Scholastic Student Loans...they have been calling me for six months non stop

They have been calling atleast 4 or 5 times a day leaving no message and when I do answer and ask them not to call back they have not listened. A woman named Jilly from Scholastic Funding Group just called and I told her never to call me back again. I hope to God they stop calling!

They have called my house several times the lady said she needed my ss# to see if I qualify for a reduction in my student loan payment I told her I don't give out my ss#. She was very persistent, I told her I was not interested,and I hung up, she kept calling back but I did not answer, they are a fraud trying to get peoples ss# to steal your identity.

They've been calling for a few weeks now, I haven't answered because I didn't recognize but they call no less than 4 times a day so today I answered to ask to be removed from their call list. They offer to reduce student loans, they ask for SS#, don't give it to them, they won't let it drop. I must have asked no less than 7 or 8 times to be removed from their list but she kept pushing. Finally my husband took the phone and asked to talk to a supervisor. He had to ask 3 or 4 times because she started her bit on him and he kept asking for a supe and she ended up hanging up on him. We called the number back and it goes to a "this mailbox is full" message.

Who is the dumbass that believed that calling this fraudulant company and request they remove my number from their call list is "problem solved"? oh yeah some dumbass named p Dizzle or p diddy or diddy p dumbass

I have been receiving calls from this alleged Scholastic Funding Group from the bogus number 201 266 0092. They will not give me a number, address only a bogus website as a reference to their business. I reported them to the AZ Attorney General's office. I urge everyone to do the same.

I dont know where they have my name from but these people knew all my info! and I kept telling him to mail me out the info he said I had to give him refrences for him to mail me out info how stupid does he think I am I hung up on him.

They have been calling twice a day. Usually between 8-9am and 4-6 pm.

They have been calling me for the past 2 weeks. I have not answered the calls. I just got feed up with it and tried calling it back only to get a busy signal. It is a real pain in the A@#.

They called me 5 times in a row at least 20 minutes in between each call. This has benn going on for about 4 days now. I call back but the line is always busy. Who are you people?

I have received two calls back to back without a voice message. I just received my first of the day. I am on the national do not call registry, yet this still occurs. Not to mention, I pay for incoming calls to my cell phone. Sarcastic Thanks, Kaplan.

the funny thing is i didn't have anything to do with kaplan and they have my number some how. there has to be some other leak some where.

Thanks for posting all these msgs. I just started recieving calls from this number too, and before I answered, I googled it and found out that I'm about be unwillingly thrust into a world of annoyance. I also completed a Kaplan LSAT course! Apparantly they didn't feel like they had ripped me off enough with their b@l1sh1t course, they also sold my personal info. Go fig.
I think I have a solution. I prupose that everyone take a dump in plastic bag, put it in a box and then mail it to Kaplan headquarters. Don't use your own name or address or anything. Use your local waste management's or be creative with it. And if you can't bring yourself to use your own feces, I suggest using your dogs' or cats' at least. We'll call the campaign "Kraplan" It's about time we fought back. Who's with me?

I recieved 2 calls late at night and when I returned the call the female said she never called my number.

They keep calling me and hanging up. One time they called me and said it was "an important matter" as if they were attempting to collect a debt.

There's a scam going around - they're not Kaplan or test prep or Scholastic anything - they're just trying to steal people's credit card info. You guys should try contacting the Kaplan person who posted here and report the people who are trying to scam you!

you new ppl at the end of the list need to scroll up and read about the callers, how to stop them, how to file complaints against them, and how kaplan whored out your info to scammers.

I get two calls a day. 15 minutes apart most of the time. i've called the number back and it's either busy or just keeps ringing. It is driving me crazy.

Called at numerous time asking for personal info regarding student loans. Report these shady people! Asked them to remove me from their calling list.

I have received several calls from this number in Englewood, NJ in which they would just hang up after I answered. Today on a Saturday early evening I received yet another call from this number. I answer and they asked for my husband. We have no idea what this is about or who these people are and they said my husband had a student loan and needed some information. I hang up and decided to check out this number. I called back only to either get a busy signal or it would ring constantly. NO ANSWER! I find out about all the reports on this SCAM number. Is this being taken care of? Why is this still going on?

They have already called me 3 times today and when I try to call them back they won't pick up.

Hi, I am Mark Freidberg, VP of operations for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. Thanks to those of you who have brought this problem to our attention. From reading some of these postings, I can certainly see why people are so annoyed. We are doing everything we can to get to the bottom of this and have taken steps to make sure that no one is improperly accessing or using our students’ info. I don’t know if these callers have gotten your numbers from Kaplan, but I want you all to know that we are looking into this and will do everything we can to stop them. If you have additional information on this or further concerns, please email me directly at MHFreidberg@kaplan.com.

Called twice tonight, didn't pick up...i knew it was something shady

They call and hang up. I call back and its a busy signal. Who the heck are they?

I'm just so irritated about this--we need to do something. All of you do some homework and let's find out if Kaplan violated their privacy statement. Also, if you know attorneys, find out if this can be qualified as harassment.

jhu.edu

uh oh

The problem is this: I don't know if there are any legal avenues that we can pursue. They haven't threatened us--just driven us to the brink of insanity. Are you guys on the do not call list? If so, have the calls continued? Does anyone know what the FCC can do? I don't necessarily want to go the lawsuit route because there's a large chance we won't win and also there's a slim chance a lawyer would do this on contingency. I am definitely never going to refer anyone to Kaplan. If you haven't done so already, get on the do not call list and file a complaint with the FCC.

Hey, I am down for a lawsuit if it is possible. Hell we may own Kaplan by the time it is over!

They called me today at 8:13 pm and earlier today and also yesterday. I answer everytime they call but they never say hello or anything.

they ended up calling me more than 10 times in one day from 8am to 9pm. the last time they called i told them off and threatened to call the police if they called again. it's been almost two weeks with no call.

Anybody up for a class-action lawsuit? Is that even possible? They call 1000 times and hang up. I finally got a hold of some outsourced cold caller that immediately told me not to hang up and put me on hold. I was told I would be taken off their list by Doug, and the calls continued for another two weeks. A month passed. Now the calls have started again. I talked with Terrance, who assured me I would be taken off their list. I have received even more calls since then. I filed a complaint with the FCC. During my filing of a complaint I received a call. Now I'm here. Holy crap make it stop.

They called me about student loans and a 5-6 times called and hanged up!

They have called me about 10 times today and wont stop. I keep getting a busy signal when i call back.

They called me twice in the past hour today on my cell phone, hanging up both times. I saved their number and set the ring tone to silent so even if they do call again, it won't bother me. Bunch of Jerks.

I took Kaplan also. These people have been calling 7-8 times per day.I answered the 2nd time and asked the guy to take mt name off the list. He was very rude and hung up. My mission now is to get this group.

Okay, they've called me about 100 times (they being the evil fraudsters at 201-266-0965. Often late at night. They'll do anything to keep YOU quiet and compliant as they hussle you toward a BOGUS deal.
I asked for a number a return number - they gave me 888-633-5237 (they got SUPER nervous when I started demanding info), then I demanded the name of a Supervisor. She said her name is Donna Martin (though she may have said "Sonya") and that her supervisor's name is Kenneth Barker of the Scholastic Funding Group. If you visit their website scholasticfundinggroup.com you will see there is NO contact/company info beyond an additional 888 number (which probably just traces your phone info into their data bank). If anyone reading this deals with information policy/fraudulent lending, please, please, please look into this. One additional thing I'd love to know: how are they acquiring our academic status? Our buddy "Donna" knew I was a grad student. I shall be quite pissed if I find out my viable loan companies is rendering my contact information to these charlatans.

I have been called 13 times from this number in the last 3 days! When I answer it no one is there and they never leave a message. They also are listed as unknown.

Called my office at 12:35PM on a Saturday, did not leave a message.

They've called me 7 times in the past 2 hours, and it started at 9:45 MST...Who are they?

Called me at 8:40 PM on Tuesday Feb 13, 2007. When I answered nobody answered me so I hung up and called them back.

thats jonathan(underscore)grayer@kaplan.com

I'd ask that everyone send a short and pointed email to Mr. Jonathan Grayer, Kaplan CEO, thanking him for whoring off our private info and phones numbers to scammers. His email is jonathan_grayer@kaplan.com.

Make his day!!!

After my complaints to Scholastic, etc, I no longer get calls from 201-266-0965 but now today I started getting calls from 000-000-0000. IN the same annoying manner, over and over and when you answer, no one is there. I got 1 person who answered, sounded Filipino, and I've apparently "won" a shopping spree, if I just proivde the 1st 12 digits of my credit card #. She had the last four digits, god knows how. I dont know if this is related to Scholastic or not, could be an entirely different ring of thieves.

They called my cell phone, then hung up when I answered which cost me minutes.

called me on feb 9th too. repeatedly, and when i call back it's busy.

I also received many calls from this company. After stupidly giving them my SS#, I called back and told them to cancel everything. I have filed a complaint with the New Jersey BBB. I also recently completed a Kaplan LSAT course.

Hmmm...I was with Kaplan for MCAT course too.

I keep getting calls from this number as well. I answer and no one is there. I also took the KAPLAN LSAT course. Sounds like KAPLAN is the common thread.

They've called several times. They hung up, the number is always busy when you call. They've asked for student loans. I would love to know who they are. There is definately something shady about them.

OMG, they call at weird time in the morning and at night. They said they are some student loans company. And go on saying interest rate going up, what not. I told them they can mail me the information, and they said they will. But before they do, they have to transfer me to another representative because he/she will tell me about some info. What the heck!!! Student loan people would definitely not call you at like 9:30pm at night. I don't even have my cell number listed on the loan forms. They are so annoying, they called me at least 10 times w/in the last 3 days already.

whoever this is, s/he (they) deserve to be killed in an exquisitely painful and demeaning manner. called me twice 08 Feb 2007, called me 5 times 09 Feb 2007, expect that number to rise. from what i've gathered with 5 minutes of searching, it's probably some idiot or group thereof making poor attempts at scamming people with access to phones out of personal information. somebody should call a government agency that has the power to do something.

This number has called me 10 times. Yes, I said it 10 times of hang ups not including the 5 times I picked up the phone. I've called back to hear a busy signal. At this point I'm considering this harrassment.

yah me too I was in KAPLAN for my GMAT prep

They called me at 10:30 am , 12:20am and 2:45pm. they are so anoyning they asked me about student loan. I didn't get his name or the company name. the best thing is to get their number and show them that you are intersting in theri offer

go to:
scholasticfundinggroup.com
and call and tell them to take your name and number off their calling list

I want to get my hands on these people that keep calling me and not responding when I ask who the hell it is. I have just stopped answering, but they are persistant with the calling!

THANK YOU KAPLAN

They keep calling me too! The first time they called I answered and asked to be removed from the list. But they keep calling and when I answer, they hang up.
I was in a Kaplan MCAT course over the summer too. This pisses me off.

This number has called me many times for the last week and I don't answer.

This number keeps calling my phone. When I answer nobody is there. They never leave a message. When I call back the line is busy. They call me like 4 times a day.

They are trying to steal our identity. I get a call from them almost every day and the guy who calls never leaves a message and he dosent even speak english well. THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR IDENTITY!!!!!! they had the nerve to ask for my social security number so that they can "see if my loans are consolidated" DONT FALL for it people!!!!! Report them to the ID theft hotline 1877-IDTHEFT

Is this an ID fraud case?

492 Cedar Ln # 6 Teaneck, NJ 07666-1713

according to the BBB of NJ they also have THIS address.

Rumored they are a subsidary of Kaplan - Let them know you think they are jerks by phone, snail or email:

They have called several times. I requested they remove me from their list and stop calling. I have no need for student loan consolidation services, having finished college more than 30years ago - Morons

anyone still have their contract w/ kaplan? If so please look up what it says about sharing your personal info with other people. We might be able to go for a class action suit or cease and desist letters to get them to stop selling our info. They even have my social security # for God sake! That girl "GRRR" probably got her info taken. Hope she won't become a victim of credit fraud.

Annoying they have been calling for the last couple of weeks at all times of the day. First the caller ID said "Rochelle Park NJ" and now it says "UNKNOWN". If it really was important, they'd leave a message.

This is indeed the Scholastic Funding Group. scholasticfundinggroup.com To get put on their Do Not Call list, call 1-866-362-5659. I confirmed they are currently conducting a phone blitz with Philippine Operators.

Kaplan I believe is the way this information is somehow getting distributed.

Found this site about them when I did a reverse phone lookup. Halfway through reading your posts. This time I answered the phone and spoke with some guy (thick accent)who wanted to speak to my husband about his student loan. B/c of all of the comments from you guys, I allowed him to read his script. When I ask him to give me the balance of my husband's account he said that after getting info from me, he would turn me over to a loan specialist who would have the balance. I kept questioning him about things I knew wouldn't be in the script and he told me that he would let me speak to his supervisor Miguel Rodriguez. After having some fun with him, I told him that his company had called my number many times and had not left a message and that I considered it harrassment. He got upset and told me that they had not called me before. I told him that I was taping the conversation and that I had just gone to a website about Scholastic Funding Group with many people complaining about the harassing phone calls and that if he called my number again, I would consider it harassment since my husband doesn't even have a student loan and report them to my and their State Attorney General's Office. I firmly repeated myself and said, "Are we clear?" He said yes and hung up the phone. So far, I haven't heard anything from them. I guess we'll see tomorrow if I get another call from them! BTW, my husband is not registered with anyone who would have given this company any info and has never taken a kaplan course. Wonder Mom

They called me about 20 times last week. I finally anwered before they hung up adn they stopped bothering me for a week, then they called again today!

God, what a mess. Kapaln, LSAC too....

Just took Gotham's advice after reading all of the aforementioned complaints. Here's what I did:

1) Filed online complaint with the NJ BBB

2) Filed online complaint with the FTC

3) Emailed the NY FBI office at newyork@fbi.gov.

They called in the evenings and in the morning without leaving a message. They called my mobile. Thought I put my mobile number on the DoNotCall registry, so they are breaking the law?

Called three times in the morning of 2/7/07 (8:23, 9:21, 10:18), once evening of 2/6/07 (6:48), and three times in afternoon of 2/5/07 (3:52, 5:03, 5:46). They have too much time on their hands and this has already been a waste of time for me!

I tried calling back, but line was busy.

They have called me at least 8 times (in 3 days) all hours of the day and night! HOW DO WE STOP THEM?

They called me ~15 times last week, asked them to stop and so far they have. just took kaplan but haven't registered for the GRE yet. called kaplan and they claim they don't give out #s but i have doubts.

i think i just got royally screwed. i get a call from this number and the first lady i talked to sounded filipino. she said something about consolidating student loans and that she had info about it. i wasn't sure if i had any outstanding loans (my finances were being taken care of by my parents and i recently graduated from college), so i went with it. eventually i got transfered to another lady and she said the same thing about loan consolidation. i told her i know nothing about my loans or if i even have any so she said that she could look up my info using my ss#. unfortunately i was preoccupied with doing something else and didn't even think twice to give it. she said something about not being able to find any info and suggested that it was under my parents' ss. at this point i started becoming skeptical so i didn't give any more info (very lucky i didn't). i said something like can we just call you back and she gave the following number: 866 362 3492 ext 113. i called that number and it was some random guy's answering machine. i don't even think the ext did anything. right after i got off the phone i thought to myself, "oh sh!t. what did i just do." so i get home and look up ss/identity fraud stuff/any info on this number. after reading a little bit i immediately contacted equifax and placed a fraud alert. seems like i'm the only idiot who actually gave them info. hope this doesn't screw me over for the rest of my life.

btw, i took a kaplan course also; took the mcats, too.

I recieved 15 calls from them in one day...what the heck??

So they called a 2nd time and I picked up... It was a delayed pick up like from a telemarketing agency.. I spoke with some woman who did not identify herself and she could have been in another country. She told me I had outstanding loans... and I said OK... (I have no loans whatsoever)...she then told me to hang on for 50 seconds.. Then I was connected to a smooth talking salesman telling me that they would consolidate my loans or something and get me the best rates and that my account number would be my 9 digit SS#. And then they asked me for my account number. I told the man that i didn't have any outstanding loans and that I thought they were a fraud and that I had gotten wind of this fraud online. The man was very calm in telling me that my number was given to them because I had recently taken a test.. Perhaps the MCATs sold my info?

Called twice in the past few days. Calling and hanging up. What's up with that??!!!!

Called me about 7 times now on different days, 4 times in the span of 3 hours. Never answers, and when I call back it is busy...shady.

Called us twice, once on 02-05-2007 at 9:30p and another 02-06-2007 right around the same time. Can't speak English, this HAS to be a scam. Talked about consolidating student loans and asking why I didn't yet. Don't give these people ANY INFORMATION. Also took the KAPLAN course. So either Kaplan sold the info or hackers breeched their data to setup this scam.

They called me about 10 times just today and have been calling for a few days, i answered once and they just hung up

They called me seven times today! They talked about student loans on the final call, but before that, they called, didn't leave messages and when I did answer they said nothing. Creepy as hell!

I also took the MCAT Kaplan course. I have been called 12x in the past hour, 15x yesterday. So annoying!

Thanks Kaplan!

Called my cell 5 times in one day while I was at work. Caller "understood" I had current student loans, which I never have. My number is only listed on my Facebook page and privately contained at LSAC.org.

How can we get Kaplan to stop? this is really wrong.

They keep calling me. Non stop! starting at 10AM through 8PM EST. How is it legal for them to do this?

It looks like its Kaplan. Direct complaints at them and let them work to get this resolved. 800-527-8378. IS ANYONE HERE NOT KAPLAN REGISTERED?

did y'all take a kaplan course?

donotcall.gov go to this webiste and register and they won't be able to call you number. I work for the government and it is being taken care of

They called three times today at 11:00, 12:30 and 1:30. No messages were left.

What graduate school are people going to? I also went to Kaplan, but wonder if it could also be another organization. My be kaplan has a leak. Which office from Kaplan? I went to the one in Highland park, IL (chicago)

Which company did you call

They have call me 20 times today! I've called the company and all they do is give you the run around.
I'm reporting them to the FCC!

I also took a Kaplan course... may they rot.

yeah, these dumb sons of bitches called me 7 times now between 8 to 11 AM... for shits and giggles I tried callin back, either number busy and/or no response...

Started calling 2-5 around 8pm and have continued to call throughout the night and the next day (i suppose they're desperate). I also took the MCAT course with Kaplan.

This idiot called me 10 times between yesterday and today

Stop this shit !!!

A seventh call came in today 2.6.2007. I finally picked up this one and they hung up right away. I think they were just testing to see if it was a working number.

And an eighth call at 11:49 am.

This eighth time I picked up and a woman with an accent spoke to me. She knew my name. I asked for the Woman's name - she said it was Maria Matt. I asked her to spell it and she spelled it M-A-T-T. She said she had information on my federally qualified loan and that she had information to reduce my monthly payment. I told her I didn't have a federally qualified loan!

I also told her that I reported their business to the Better Business Bureau. She said she respected that. I said oh yeah, I am also going to report you to the FBI and the police and you and your scam business are in trouble. She hung up.

Folks, send your reports in. Wicked, opportunistic people trying to scam us.

Yah I went to Kaplan like a year ago. Call 866-362-5659. They will ask for your phone number. and put you on there do not call list.

They called me yesterday at 7:41 pm and today at 8:26 am,8:49 am, 9:18 am, 9:45 am, and 10:30 am. GEESH!

It also reads 201 266 0965 on my call display... and I took KAPLAN MCAT prep in Chicago. Even more upset.

These people called 6 times alone last night and this morning:

2.5.2007 at 8:18 pm
2.6.2007 at 8:33 am
2.6.2007 at 8:57 am
2.6.2007 at 9:25 am
2.6.2007 at 9:55 am
2.6.2007 at 10:46 am

I am extremely annoyed and upset. I'm going to report them to the BBB and NJ police. We should all do this, put them out of business and make sure they can never do this again.

I get calls daily form this number. Says unavailable. Got about 10 calls on Sat - - get calls during week 3x a day. Call back number is busy!

i took the kaplan too, this is all very shady
they kept telling me i had loans but i didn't

they continually call and hang up. I also did business with Kaplan GMAT

Called me @ 8:45 p.m. No message. did not answer the phone, left no message.

BTW I am also registered with LSAC

OK I also took a kaplan class last summer. I didn't pick up but I'm going to mess with them if they do again. Maybe there was a leak at kaplan

I took Kaplan too!! And i got a call just like that tonight

I took kaplan class GMAT too! How about schools, any one going to school? if so which one?

called but hung up when I answered. They called at 8:40pm CST.. These bastards!

I JUST TOOK THE KAPLAN COURSE TOO! THEY MUST HAVE SOLD MY NUMBER! THOSE CHEATERS. THE COURSE WAS NOT EVEN THAT GREAT!AND THEY KEPT SENDING ME NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES TO BUILD MY "dATABASE". I DISLIKE THEM

I took a Kaplan class and recently took the GMAT so I think there's a connection there.

these mofos called saying i have student loans-which i dont. wanted my social and when i was on the phone with them i could hear kids screaming. this is a Scam and thank god i figured it out before giving my social. I did a reverse search on the number and this site came up.

I finally talked to someone helpful at scholastic funding group. Apparently they have outsourced their telemarketing to an overseas call center whose dialing system is having technical problems and recalling the same numbers over and over. If you call the 1-800 number on their website you can get on their do not call list. It took about 2 days for the calls to stop but they have finally stopped. The website is in one of the comments above. The sooner you call them, the sooner it will stop. I just took the GMAT and a Kaplan review course and I'm guessing they sold my number. Bastards....

LSAC and Kaplan are the two I could think of who had my cell #

Please take the time to fill out complaints

After calling me nonstop last week, I finally picked up on Friday afternoon and told them they had the wrong number. Haven't heard from them since. Hopefully it's not just the weekend and that they have removed me from their list for good.

I have 8 missed calls from these people. When I picked up on the 9th call, it was a man with a Filipino accent (very strong to not miss) asking me if I had student loans and tried to convince me that I did. Also tried to find out about any scholarships I may have.

I am pretty sure LSAC.org F*cked me as well. That is the only place I've given info out on the net in the past 2 years.

I've asked them not to call again, or I'd reprot them as a nuisance caller

More info found on web. Apparently they are sponsoring a $100K sweepstakes at studentloanpayday.com
Of coursse they require you to provide your SS# here to enter the contest, as well. How convenient.

Lets see how quickly we can put this circus out of business.

Here's what I did:

1) Filed online complaint with the NJ BBB

2) Filed online complaint with the FTC

3) Filed online complaint with NY BBB (where I live)

4) Called the NY FBI office 212.384.1000 and sent them an email at newyork@fbi.gov.

I like the obvious trolls posting on this board who work for Scholastic like Enzo. And the other guy telling us to pay up our loans. Even as identity theft scams go, this one is really lame. Id love to meet the braniacs behind the idea.

One look at their website and you know it's a front. If I click through like I am going to actually apply to consolidate loans, my browser alerts me not to, because of being re-routed to another unsecure website, etc. Shady operation, likely run by some poor losers trying to make a quick buck off of suckers.

Just filed a complaint with the FCC. Please fill one out also here: fcc.gov

I also talked to the FBI and they said the agency who investigates identity theft is the Federal Trade Commission, and so I filed a complaint with them. DO that here: rn.ftc.gov

Just file those complaints until they take action.

Everyone really needs to stop posting ads saying when and how many times they called you. We all need to contact the Federal Communications COmmission, Federal Bureau of Investigation, NJ Attorney General's Office to get to the bottom of it. For those of you who say it is not a scam simply because they kindly removed your number from the list, are dead wrong. The website has no address and blatantly asks for your social security number. So contact the above agencies and turn your energy into action and we will get these clowns busted and closed up for good. IMPORTANT QUESTION: IS EVERYONE HERE REGISTERED FOR LSAC, GMAT, or OTHER GRADUATE EXAM, or A PREPARATION CLASS FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE (like KAPLAN)? I am LSAC registered and Kaplan registered. I want to know who the fuck sold me out to these losers.

Why yall so paranoid? Take time to listen!

This number called me 6 times today on my cell phone!! I answered the 5th time and some guy with an accent asked me about my college bills, of which, I have none. When I told him this, he hung up on me. Then called back 3 more times! This is harrassment.

Called me starting jan 30th every hour until I finially picked up. Something about student loans and when I told the person I was not interested the person was very rude, nasty and persistant in trying to obtain my personal info. After hanging up...they continued to call my cell every 10 mins and has been ongoing for three days now!!!!! This is ridiculous!!!

They have called me 10 times in less than 24 hrs. They called early in the morning and late at night. Every time except the last they hung up. I tried to call back several times and either got a busy signal or the phoone rang and rang. This last time they called I got a person, she knew my full name, spoke very poor english and wanted to talk about my college loans, i told them i didn't have any and then they ask me if i had a stadford loan, which i also don't have. They identified themselves as from the scolastic funding company. i told them never to call me again.

If you use Google Earth and look up the Teaneck address, it just looks like a warehouse not a regular office building.

read comments from others up top. If they have info, why would they ask for SSN and credit card info? Don't worry, all they have is a name and a #. Still trying to find register agent in NJ. NJ doesn't make info easy to find at all... As soon as I have it, I'll let everyone know.

The only thing I told them over the phone was whether I have student loans or not.

I hope that's the only thing they know about me, besides obviously my name and phone number.

definitely not legit. Why would they hound you if they're legit? Plus why is land line routing calls from Asia? Why is phone in Englewood, NJ when business is at Teaneck, NJ? Legit companies will obey the no-call registry law that is in effect. They obviously don't. Don't give them any info.

so we still don't know whether this is a legit loan consolidation company (who is rather desperately trying to get new customers), or some shady dealer with not-too-noble intentions?

i'd like that info once you find it

ps. Yeah, I'm pressed... I've had to deal with this shit for a week. There's an old saying in Chinese "to take care of a problem, make sure you get to the root of it"

if you google "scholastic funding group, llc" careerbuilder.com pops up. They might have sold info to them. Plus it's only been a company since 2006, BBB does not have a record on them. Also, I'm really close to finding the owner of the business... Their address is in a office building. I'll bet that it's a call/mail forwarding center. Where you pay a monthly fee and they take messages and mail for you. I'm going to track the fucker down! Then maybe you guys can call him at all hours of the night.

same

It's been about an hour and a half since they last called... *keeping fingers crossed*

i havent even talked to one of these people, they keep hanging up or are just silent for 30-45 seconds

this is so ridiculous

i told them to take me off their list and I got 7 calls in an hour. I was trying to find their fax number...

I actually picked up one of their calls this morning, told them I'm not interested in consolidating loans and hung up. But since then I've gotten 5 more calls (in about 3 hours time).

trust me, a big part of my job is tracking people and finding scammers.

I understand that, and I believe you might have put it on a form. I don't know... maybe a resume or something. They can search those too, you know. Any way to get in contact with the person on the phone and try to rip them off.

The thing that confuses me is that they are calling my CELL, and I don't put my cell number on any official forms.

Annoyed, listen... I think their whole operation is a scam out to get private information from people on the call list. It does not cost a lot to start an LLC. $150-200 That pretty much shield them from any lawsuits. You need a LLC or Inc. to start a business. After the LLC was obtained, they bought lists off of different groups. I suspect the LSAC because they were the only one I gave my number to. They might have bought the list off other institutions. They also set up a website, but there's no "contact us" info anywhere. I had to dig for their address. If you are on their website and you have firefox, and you click apply now. A warning will pop up saying that someone is probably monitoring your information. So I deduce that they are out to get your information from you. Most likely a fly by night operation. They have calls routed through a land line from another country to cut down on cost. Definitely do not volunteer any information. Tell them to go fuck their mothers.

I got a call from my bank a few days ago saying that my account number showed up on a list of possibly compromised identities...i wonder if this is connected

A credit report just lets you see if anyone has been using your identity. I'm wondering if the fact that these guys have our names and # mean that our identity info has already been compromised.

But then again, if they have the info they need to do illegal stuff with our identity, then why call us trying to get our SS and credit card numbers? So I don't know whether I should be worried or not.

btw. info on the stupid company

also register your phone with the no call registry. donotcall.gov Here's why you should do that: "Once you have registered, your phone number registration will be
effective for 5 years. It will be illegal for most telemarketers to call you,
and you will be able to file a complaint if a telemarketer does call
you. The website donotcall.gov provides information about filing a
complaint."

The BBB= Better Business Bureau. You can file a complaint with them regarding a business' shady dealings. In my case it's harassment.

what does filing a credit report do?

I am fed up with them. If you want to do something about it. File a complaint with the BBB of NJ trenton.bbb.org I am also going to call the NJ police dept and register a complaint.

I did some searches online and found this on the JHU website:
jhu.edu

Those of us who's gotten calls, is it time for us to get a credit report?

the web page scholasticfundinggroup.com, though it looks legit is probably a scam. i called anna moses there are she didnt know the web page address and had to look it up. i wouldnt give her any info.

Got about 10 phone calls from this number since this morning. Will give them a call later and I'll let you know what's going on. Very annoying.

That can't be true, my school does not have my cell #.

my number isnt on facebook

would colleges give out this info?

i called the 866 number and the lady, anna moses (who is also a lying quack) said they get the numbers from schools....but she also said they arent doing the calling

I don't think it has anything to do with gmac or lsat registrations; I'm not registered with either one and I am still getting repeated phone calls from them.

The fact that they are calling my CELL phone makes me think that they might have gotten the info off Facebook, since that's the only place where my cell # is divulged.

IF you actually get to talk to someone, it'll be a woman from the Phillipines or somewhere with horrible English--who is clearly reading from a script. She will want your name, SS# and credit card details. I didnt provide any of this, but played along to see what they were doing. I then called the 866 number to have my # removed from their call list and the lady said it would take 1 month to take effect. WTF??? 1 month of this BS!!

man, i registered with lsac.org too

I have gotten about 8 calls from them today and last night (Feb 1 and 2). Half the time they just hang up, but one time there was a woman, who kept saying my name and asking if I could hear her? what the hell is this?

I got the bottom of my situation. I had registered at GMAC.com to take the GMAT last year. GMAC (which may be affiliated with LSAC?) is selling contact info to this Scholastic who just assumes since you took a test you have debts that they want to conslidate. Im not sure if thats the only reason they are calling, but it explains my situation

I called that 866 # to ask them to take me off their calling list. And since then, they've kick up their calling efforts. Fucking fudge packers are calling me 5x per hour now. Fucking inbreed pig fuckers.

They have called me 5 times in the last 24 hours including one at 3:00 am and 5:45 am (because I now live on the west coast). I went to nyu and used lsac.org years ago if that has any connection to anyone else.

they called me 5 or six times in less than 24 hours. must be some kind of scam

This number has called me numerous times for the past 5 days and have not stopped even after I have told them many times that I don't have students loans and do not want them calling me anymore. Many times they call and then hang up immediately- Very annoying

They have called three time in less than 12 hours. I have not answered, but they didn't leave a messge. Based on what everyone else is saying I can see why. I also do not have any loan.

I am also getting repeated calls from this person/place. SOOO ANNOYING!

I woke up this morning to see that I had missed 10 phone calls between 11:05pm and 11:57pm. All of them were from 201-266-0965. Whoever it was didn't leave any messages.

(201) 266-0965
Type: Land Line
Provider: AT&T
Location: Englewood, NJ

they've called as many as 11 times in one day between the hours of 11 am and 9 pm. They call nonstop and when asked to remove my name from their list, they refused and asked for just one good reason why I don't want to consolidate and want my name removed from their list.

Deez bitches tryin to be scammin on me. I was jus chillin wit ma lady friend and they got us all sturr'd up. Shits whack

I called Scholastic and their 866# to get my # removed from their call list. I told the lady I was an attorney with the FBI--you should have heard the fear in her voice!!!

Called at 9:27pm... definitely out of the legal time to solicit me! And its a freakin cell phone.

I called 866-363-5659 but they said they needed my phone number in order to remove me from their call list. I didn't give it because they already have it. Anyone know what state this company is based out of?

The lady I got transferred to tried get my social security #, I didn't give it, and they're still calling me. Four times today!

I followed the above advice and called 1-866-362-5659 and said I have received calls from the 201 number. They said it was their company and asked about studend loans. I said no loans and she said she would put me on their do not call list. They asked for my number (the one they've been calling) but didn't ask for my name. It seemed to me that they have probably here from several others about this same nonsense.

LISTEN UP PEOPLE! CALL 1-866-362-5659 AND TELL THEM TO REMOVE YOU FROM THEIR STUPID CALL LIST. PROBLEM SOLVED!

Did anyone sign up for lsac.org? for law school? They might be selling info out to people...

9 times. the phone rang for approximately 3 seconds and then stopped.

they called me at 8am this morning and have since called me 8 times and it's only 2pm!! i've answered a few times after reading this site with plans to rip them a new butthole, but they never respond when i answer!! i also tried calling them back and got a busy signal or a non-stop ring.

Similar to what you guys have been saying...call 5-6 times a day - about student loans I don't have. I asked them to stop calling and they haven't. This is harassment and I would like it to stop.

4 times in last 2 days no messages... really wish i knew who these idiots are

its a student loan company yall owe some money... pay up!!

They first called me at 9 am this morning and have called 4 times since then. 5 calls in one day!

oh, and i spoke with anna moses who was very helpful. good luck.

correction to my previous post... the number to call to get removed from thier call list is 1-866-362-5659.

They keep calling and, I refuse to answer the phone though. Who are these people?

They called my cell phone about student loans. When i told them I didn't have any, they asked to speak with someone else in my household. I had already told them it was my cell and not to call again. They have called 4 times since.

They have called me four times in the last three days. The first time they called they told me I had student loans...but I don't. The man was going to argue with me. I think this is a scam where they try to get your social....DON'T FALL FOR IT!

This # calls my cell at least 10-15 times a day for the past 3 days...person was extremly nasty when I told them not to call and now they keep calling even more!

so i have been getting phone calls from these guys for the past few days, i just called 1-866-362-5659 and asked them if the the 201-266-0965 number was a part of their company. They said yes. I asked them to remove my number from the list. The operator knew my name and number when she pulled it up from the computer. Apparantly if you are in college they take your name from a database and keep calling you until they can get you on the phone. It isn't a scam just really shitty telemarketing... so if you want them to stop calling just call up their help and register a complaint. Hope that helps

This is my second post.I picked up my 6th call from this number at 5:00pm last night and screamed into the phone that I called the New Jersey State Police and hung up. I have now gone 16 hours and counting without a call.

This number has shown up 10 or 11 times in the past day in a half. I have no clue who they are and why they are calling?

these cocksuckers have called me over and over again for the past few days. i called the number posted on this site (886)633-5237 and spoke with somebody at Scholastic Funding Group. the lady i spoke with confirmed the 201 number was indeed their call center in the Philippines. i informed her i had reported this to the no not call list as i am on that list and this is unacceptable. she told me they would remove me from their system and it would not happen again. i encourage all of you to do the same. if i continue to get calls from the bastards i will be sure to let you all know. best luck.

5 or 6 calls from this number now. They just keep hanging up and its busy when I call back. So frustrating!

They called me last night around 10pm and and twice tonight around 9pm. I was getting annoyed so I answered and they did the same routine of telling me I had unpaid student loans. I told them I didn't have any and they said they would update their computer and hung up. I also asked what their name was but I couldn't make it out over all the background noise. What is this BS?

I've recieved 2 calls from them, both in reference to student loans (however I don't have any). The 2nd time I advised them I to put me on a do not call list.

They have called me 6 times since Jan 29. I talked to a woman once who claimed to have news about my student loans. When I denied I had student loans through them she said it "must be someone else in my household." I told her I had nothing to do with them and she said she'd "take care of it." They have called 4 times since then, but it is disconnected when I answer.

They've called me three nights in a row; among other times

Bastards have called me 12 times today. They always hang up when I answer and I get a busy signal when I call them back.

They've called every night this week - multiple times. Very late at night for me. I'm not happy that they're using my cell phone or calling me. I want it to stop. They used my name too, which worries me.

they called me 3 times today. Also, yesterday 2 times and the day before that 2 times

i want to meet this motherfucker in person...

Mother fuckers fucking with my shit. Making me look like a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob. But I aint no n00bxorx. I told dem to knock dat shit off and stop calling my ass b4 I bitch slap dem ho's. And guess what? Dose muther fuckers listened and I aint heard a ting since.

They called 3 times in the last few days and the first time said something about financial aid. They wanted to confirm information with me first. I said no and they called back 2 times after that. They also called late at night.

called me 3 times this week!

This is my third post. Ive told these people 3 times to leave me alone but they keep calling. The first two times it was an oriental sounding woman on the other end. This time an oriental sounding man. I told him the names of the first two women who called and he said they had no agents by those names working for his company. Really? I asked. Then how in the heck did they manage to call me from the same number your calling me from? He said that it was probably someone trying to pretend to be his company, trying to scam me. WOW! He gave himself away. This call I told him i knew it was a scam and to not call me again or I would take action!... so we'll see if that works. Im sure ill be updating soon!

They try several times a day. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

they have called me 25 times today. it is ridiculous.

Who the hell is this calling me? I've gotten probably 50 calls from them in the last 3 days. Fuckin weirdos.

They have been calling me since 01/29/07. Everytime they call I answer and no one is on the other end. I return the call only to get a busy signal. Seriously this is getting old.

They've called me EIGHT times now some during class and when I answer, they hang up.. we need to find out who this is, pain in the ass!

they call like 10 times a day at all hours. i tried to answer but they hung up and when i tried to call back i got a busy signal. i don't know who it is but it is freaking me out.

Called me in Virginia. Strange-accented lady at first. I hung up. Got a call from a man later on, asking for someone else (not me). Have called many more times and I didn't answer. If they call again I'll call them out for what they are.

When they first called me i thought it was legit because i do have student loans, but i didnt have all my info so i just hung up...now they have called about 20-25 times in the past 48hours...is there someone i can talk to make this shit stop

well, i was bored and decided to call the REAL scholastic funding group and told them these people are claiming to represent their company. don't be playing on my phone. i keeps it real.

They called again, said they work with federal student loans and the government but when i asked they guy said they were a private corporation, got a contact number though: 888-633-5237

Scam. They were very interested in learning my last name, and my parent's phone number. I would just pick up and tell them to remove you from their list and hang up.

They've called me repeatedly at various times for the past 3 days. Then when I finally answered today, the girl at the other end giggled and started in on some bull about student loans I don't have. How did they get my cell phone number?!

They called. I did not answer and don't plan to in the future. figure it out.

1-866-362-5659 that is the Schloastic Funding Groups actual number

They have called me 6 times since yesterday morning to tell me I have outstanding student loans....I have NO student loans at all.

8 missed calls since yesterday morning, but they have called more than that.

called 4 times in the past two days. i want to answer like a dummy, and get their info.

Called me 2x late in the evening PST, last night on JAN 30th, 2007 @ 8:22pm & the night before last on JAN 29th, 2007 @ 8:51pm.

Ignored both calls and they didnt leave a msg either time...

They have already called twice to see if I am interested in a loan.

They've called me three times in the past 24 hours. I spoke with them the first time to tell them to take me off the list. I called Scholastic Funding Group and they seemed a bit confused by all of this too. Just to be sure, I asked them to take me off their list as well. This is getting ridiculous.

Hello, some man with an accent called from this number...and I thought he might be legit from a law school or something because I have never gotten a call from a telemarketer at 8:00am. He said "do you have any student loans". I said "1 I think". He said "How much is it". I promptly hung up. Since then I have gotten multible calls and everytime I answer to let them have it, they just hang up. I have tried calling them back and it's bussy or just rings.

some group talking about student loans... I have 6 kids. I work fulltime. Why would I need studen loans?

Called my cell 6x in one day. Wanted to consolidate student loans.

Called when I was in the john, taking a leak, I did not wish to place down my one eyed snake to answer.

To anyone who called the NJ BBB...what did they say??

They have called me 11 times in the past 48 hours. Once I answered, could barely understand the woman and only got that she was talking about something with student lones and i hung up. but nevertheless they have kept calling. anyone have any suggestions to make them stop? I am beyond annoyed

this number called me two times this morning, no messages...i called back and just got a ring and busy tone...weird. 1/31

You can read my 1st post above. They called me back again this morning. Gave me a different phone number to their corporate office...888-633-5237. Once again not a working number! I also asked them what their website address was she got nervous and spouted out scholastic.com The Real Scholastic Funding Groups Website is scholasticfundinggroup.com. This is definitely a scam. I am 100% sure it was the same lady i talked to yesterday. Although today her name was Jeanie Smith. Dont FAll For It!

I received 1 call from this number, it was listed as name unknown but the number displayed on my cell (call rec'd 9:50 AM, 1/31). The caller did not leave a message.

they called me 7 times in 24 hours. finally answered and talked to them about student loans i never even had. they asked for a credit card number so i started giving random numbers until the guy hang up on about the 30th number i gave him.

hate these people, they called me 3 times yesterday and are calling be already today, how can I get them to STOP!

they have called me 9 times in less then 24 hours!!! whats going on? I tried to call back and nothing, help!!!

these people have been calling me all day. i'm calling the NJ BBB. i hate this bullshit.

called 4 times- from 1/28 to 1/30/2007. I called back three times- the first time they hung up. The second time i called back it was busy (i guess calling one of you) and the last time i called it kept ringing.

This number called me at a late hour on my cell phone. When I try to call back, they are always busy. They stated that they were with Scholastic Funding Group. This is no doubt a SCAM!!!

These guys called me also at 9:45 I didn't really care but the number is from NJ. They'd better not call in the middle of the night or i'm picking up and givin em hell.

They called me at 8:20 PM regarding my student loans. I hung up once and they called again. They stated they were something like "Scholastic funding". They tried to tell me that they were part of the same company that manages my student loans. Watch out this may be a scam!

I called the toll line for the scholastic funding group and the operator was laughing when he picked up the phone. Does not sound professional to me. Now are these the same people running the scam? Or are they just using this company as a front.

I've gotten the same phone call two days in a row. I've actually missed the call both times, which is why I decided to look up the phone number and found this site. Don't know who they are, what they do etc. They call at 8PM for me though.

They called me five times today. Did not leave any messages. When I called back I get a busy number but if this is about loans I dont have any at all. I think this is a scam. Do not give out any of your information!

They have called me three times, always at the EXACT same time each day. They hang up before I can answer...

they've called me 7 times in the past two days. this is ridiculous!

So they just called again. When the woman told me her name...I asked her to spell it, she freaked out, asked if I had loans. I said no, and asked her how she got my # and she paniced and hung up...

scholasticfundinggroup.com

Is there website

this # called 1 7 times since 8 am this morning!!! No idea who it is,

They just called me for the fourth time and I was finally able to answer. They said they were a company that could help me consolidate student loans. Thing is, I don't have any, not a one; I went to a service academy. I let the lady do her schtik where she asked me for my name, social, and credit card number. This is a scam for ID theft. That's my verdict.

They called me 6 times today! No messages left, and I also heard this was something about student loans...which is funny because I dont have any!

They called me six times but i wasnt able to answer. On the 7th time, i got the chance to answer and they seem pretty nice. They asked me if i have student loans. If you give them time to listen, you will find them real courteous.

this number has called my cellphone 6 times today, once about every hour. they leave no messages, and i haven't called them back, and don't plan on it.

These people are annoying me!! They have called me six times during a twelve hour period!! Who the heck are they??

This is weird. They called me 5 times within the last 6 hours. Isn't this a North Jersey area code??

I have been called 6 times today and i finally picked up teh last call and they hung up, can we report this?

I got one call on January 29th, and now I have been called every 2 hours since 7am and it is 7pm now!

bitches. they keep calling me!!!!!

They finally talked this time when I answered, its a SCAM!! They wanted to talk to me about my oustanding student loans, but I don't have ANY student loans! Don't give them ANY information at all.

5 times they called me in 10 hours. no voicemail left.

Please help, these people have been calling me all day--5 times to be exact. They never leave a message. I am afraid to answer because I do not know anyone in Jersey. The calls started early this am and are lasting through late evening.

They have called me a few times and they hang up. Please tell me what is going on here.

Called me 3x today on my cell, ridiculous. Once in the morning, another during the middle of class, and one just now. No one was ever on the other side when I answered the phone.

Called me a few times. Left no message. I finally answered. Lady didnt speak very good english. Almost sounded oriental. Said her name was King Nashville. Said the companies name was Scholastic Funding Group. I asked her for the Corporate Phone number she gave me (886)633-5237. Called that number to find that its not a working number. My Advice is to google the Scholastic Funding Group for it is an actual company dealing with student loans. Contact information is available on the website. If you feel your identity is in jeopardy call and ask them to check their records to see if they have contacted you recently. Always Remember not to ever give your social security number out over the phone!

They called me four times today, never left a message, once around 10am, 1, 4, and 6pm. Never had this problem before today.

ahhh they've called me over 10 times today....you guys should call the better business bureau in new jersey about it- 609-588-0808

fuck this number, they have called me 3 times today on my cell

I've been having the same damn problem, and I'm am sick and tired of it!! Who the hell are these people!

Keeps calling and hanging up. When I call back I just get a busy signal...

My number must be on some stupid list

Do any of you happen to go to NYU??

Called me too, always within 3-4 hours of each other ... really annoying

They have called me 5 times since last night... too late at night and too early in the morning.

They called las night and today at 8:13 am, 11:17 am, and 2:25 pm. I have missed all the calls and when I try to call back I the busy signal.

Called 3X today too! All exactly 3 hours apart... hung up when I answered.

They are calling me all day. Beware of calls like this. Don't call back, they may be somehow charging for that according to some information I found.

they called me four times today

I never got a chance to answer but about the same thing as everyone else. I have recieved multiple phone calls today, during class.

they called me 3 times today! i finally answered and the guy was trying to ask about student loans. i have no idea how they got my number because it is unlisted! he got scared when i started asking him questions and hung up. anyone have any other info on these guys?

They just called me and I answered (after missing 2 of their previous calls). They also told me I had outstanding student loans with the Scholastic Funding Group. When I asked who I was speaking to, the lady said "Sharo Echo Tango". I reported to do not call, but is there anywhere else we can report these calls to shut them down?

They have now called me three times while at work. Don't leave a message and it's busy when I call back. Sounds pretty shady. If anyone is on the Do Not Call list and they're calling you, you can report them.

They have called me 3X's. I have looked up the area code an it is from New Jersey. The biggest problem is that they are calling while I am in meetings. They leave no message!

Called 2:58 pm 1-30-07, 11:48 am 1-30-07, 8:33 am 1-30-07. No message, returned call and got constant busy signal.

Called twice now. Once last night at 9:30 and once at 11:15 AM today. Tried calling back but got nothing but a busy signal.

they have called me 3x in teh last 12 hours and left no messages.

They told me I had outstanding student loans, I'm guessing they were going to try to get some credit card info from me but I DON'T HAVE ANY STUDENT LOANS! Don't fall for it.

called today and yesterday. completely random times. got a busy signal when i called back. and no message left

called me twice today, no message, no caller id

called me twice today
called them back
busy signal, no message

wtf who the hell are these fools. wasting my time.

they called me twice today and didn't leave a message- very annoying

Douche

I received a call from this number last night at 9:28pm CST and again this afternoon at 12:16pm CST. I looked up the number on Whitepages.com, but the information was unlisted. Does anyone have any information on this?

They have called twice this morning, once while I was already on the phone. The "beeping in" of the call waiting for this number did not sound like any other, oddly enough, and would randomly beep and then give me a dial tone, making it difficult for me to understand the person I was talking to begin with.

I got 2 missed calls from this number and have no idea why someone from NJ would be calling me

They tried to tell me I had student loans. I don't. Who are these shady people?

Called me today as well. Called back, busy signal. No message left.

they have called 3 times in less than 24 hours...and left no messages. called at weird times and I tried calling back and got a busy signal

they called 2x now-January 29, 2007 at 7:52pm and today January 30, 2007 at 10:28am. I did not answer either time, as I did not recognize the number, who are they?

Called my cell. I hate it when companies do that.

They called and hung up when I answered. Have no idea who this is or why they are calling.

they called me at 7:30 am, a completely inappropriate time . I don't know who this is, but would love to learn more.
