Type of a scam Other
I was advised that the college I attended (Heritage College) closed their doors recently due to finances. I was told that I might qualify for a student loan forgiveness. I researched and found GradsAid. They (a guy named felix @ 310-626-0750) immediately called me back had information on me and started asking me for money. Right then I knew something was right. The next day I was contacted by a company called GradsAid for which they told me that I had spoken to Felix the night before. I asked how they got my information. they responded that I inquired.They had my email and everything.After more investigation on my part, I found that the company was not accredited by the AFSLR. I have responded to their emails and the phone calls stop coming. I am afraid that they may have more information on me due to them simply calling me on my phone number that was not given out by me.

I saw an ad on Facebook saying that if you went to Fortis college to call #8882682722. when I called them they told me I qualify for a loan forgiveness because that college was involved in several lawsuits. They told I qualify for the loan forgiveness for $9,0000. I would only had to make a payment of $599.00 or 3 payments of $300.00. I called the FAFSA website and they told me they were not aware of that company. I called them bank to canceled the transaction and they told me to call in 30 minutes and since them I haven’t been able to contact them.
