Description

Likely a scam. First and foremost, the number that is being solicited is registered on the Federal Do Not Call List, which can be found at HTTPS://www.donotcall.gov. Second, the number that I am receiving calls from is not associated with a known contact. It is also not known to be publicly associated with any known business. Third, the number I am receiving calls from does not match the number that I am being asked to call back at. Fourth, I do not have any current loan applications pending with any financial institutions. Fifth, when applying for a loan; I prefer to do it in person at a physical branch. The loan officer is not a known person to me. In fact, the name changes out from one call to the next; though the text of the message stays the same. Sixth, the loan officer does not seem to reference their license number nor the financial institution they are working for Fifth, the loan officer claiming to be “Veronica Garcia” doesn't reference the name of the individual whose application she’s claiming has “been flagged for a second review.” Which may also suggest that she does not personally know the individual she is calling.
