The Better Business Bureau said it has received multiple reports of student loan borrowers being targeted by imposter loan forgiveness calls and emails.

The reports came in the days following President Joe Biden’s announcement that public student loan borrowers would receive up to $20,000 in debt forgiveness from the government. “You receive a call or voicemail from someone claiming to represent a new student loan forgiveness program,” the Better Business Bureau said. “To see if you qualify for forgiveness, the scammer insists that you need to complete an online application form, which asks for personal information, such as your bank account details.”The federal government said that a form will be available in early October for borrowers to apply for relief.

Biden again attacks 'MAGA' GOP members of Congress, 'full of anger, violence and hate,' in Labor Day speechPresident Biden used a Labor Day speech in Wisconsin to attack 'extreme MAGA Republicans' who Biden said 'have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division.' Leader of the GOP party just called, again, for the results of the free and fair election to be thrown out and have himself installed as an unelected leader. CPAC cheered a dictator who they invited to speak. Trump praised Putin & Xi saying we need to run our country like theirs. Soooo Bidens defense for crappy economy, shortages, invasion at the border, a new war and a stupid end to another is Maga Republicans are enemies.This is his defense for his horrible Carter type term.smh
