<prompt> Human: There are plenty of scams going around in regard to student loans but this one is becoming so prevalent that the IRS has even gone out of their way to address it. Thought Id let you guys know about this, stay diligent when you get a phone call about your federal student loans, if you do: hang up and call your loan servicer then ask them about what you received the call about, whether its consolidation, loan forgiveness, or anything tax related. No third party company can do anything your federal loan servicer cannot already do, for freelots of these scams Ive seen charge 600 dollars for something you can do for free  <response>: As a student, I appreciate the link! Was totally unaware!
