A misleading robo call from "Emily at the Student Loan Forgiveness Center" claiming that my Federal student loans may be eligible to be reduced or "full forgiveness". This is an automated voice recognition robo call, designed to sound like a live caller, but you can recognize quickly that it is not a live caller.

I tried to avoid saying 'yes' after the bot didn't understand my very first 'yes' response. Instead, I used other positive assent words, such as "I do", "I am" and "correct" but the bot was programmed specifically only to recognize explicit 'yes' and 'no' responses.

Their "shotgun" approach to making mass phone calls, hoping to find a few people who owe student loans, and their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethic, doesn't it?

Here is a transcript of this automated, voice recognition call:

"This call is now being recorded."

female voice: "Hello, how are you, my name is Emily. I'm with the Student Loan Forgiveness Center. The reason that we've been trying to reach you is that our records indicate you may qualify for a program that will reduce your student loan or even offer full forgiveness. Now thousands of students, just like you qualify for this program however most of them don't know it and miss out on the opportunity due to paperwork deadline. So would you like to hear how you may qualify for this time sensitive program?"

me: "Yes."
they: "Okay, great. Let me just ask a few questions before I transfer you to an enrollment specialist. Uh, first question, uh, do you currently have any Federal student loans?"

me: "Yes."
they: "I'm so sorry. I didn't hear you clearly. Do you currently have any Federal student loans?"

me: "I do."
they: "Are you currently a student enrolled in classes?"

me: "I am."
they: "Student enrolled in classes?"

me: "Correct."
they: "Well unfortunately it looks like none of these programs are gonna be right for you at this time, but I do appreciate you listening, and...thank you for your time, and have a nice day."

Never stayed at any of their "resorts"

Yes, trying to sell vacation. Always claim to have issues with their headset. Caller sounds drunk.
