Just got a call them them, before I could say,"Don't pick up", to my husband, and he told them he didn't know where I was, . I told him it was a scam.

yeah they called me looking for someone I did not know , and got my name wrong. I don't answer let it go to call answering.

Someone Called my Sister for a reference and I don't know who this number is... AES Cia?

Yeah someone called my grandmother and asked for the same thing but she didn't answer because she didn't know the number that popped up. I thought they said AEF Fea but now you put that I don't know what they heck they said!

Yeah.  Someone called my twice.  I went to the website.  It's a financial aid service.
I think they call to collect a debt or get paymants from the students who got the loans.
Asking for a reference is a good way to throw you off.
