A year or so ago they called me every couple of days with an automated system. Finally I called back to verify I'd never had a loan with them. Today I got another automated call. Terrible organizational technique especially for a student loan organization!

Sallie Mae, an automated call requesting payment of a student loan.

Caller asks for me by my first name only, which could easily be obtained from my voice mail message. SAYS they are from Sallie Mae, though half the country has student loan debt, that is a crap shoot as far as I'm concerned. Then wants me to "verify your last name, date of birth and social security number". I'm current on my bills, so I refused to give it and he hung up on me. I think this may be a phishing scam, so I'd advise anyone with a Sallie Mae loan to hang up the phone without giving them an ounce of information and contact Sallie Mae through regular channels.

Sallie Mae

someone calls from this number at strange hours more than once a day but leaves no message why.

Sallie Mae student loans. They have called multiple times today and have not left a voice mail. I am not behind with any of my payments. PLEASE STOP CALLING ME!

Recorded message - "This is Ashley with Sallie Mae calling to discuss options with your loan....

This is Sallie Mae.
