Hopefully they will. Someone I know tried contacting FBI about scams online( email ). They said just don’t engage or do anything with the scammers.
So hopefully they will do something and communicate with you but don’t get upset if they don’t.

DELETE or trash, then empty trash. Thank goodness you are smart enough to know they are scammers. A legit loan offer comes in the US mail. We throw those away also don't we?
Thanks for sharing Maid Marion. I think it is important we all share known scams in order to educate the stage.

I get similar to that all the time. Often it's BofA, Chase, Wells Fargo or some other bank that I have no relationship with. Also, I often get notice from paypal that there's a (large) pending purchase on my account. That was easy, they sent it to an email address that Paypal doesn't know exists! JUNK!

Thank you for the update, Marion.

I got 2 more this afternoon, same thing from different headings. A little more wording, suspect they are college loan scams.

Thank goodness you recognize them for what they are Marion. I think they prey on us oldsters thinking we are dumb

I got the exact same one Maid. Strange how they get our name right. I’m sure they have ways of monitoring our phones any more. I have a good friend in Oregon and when she calls me she always says “well between you and me and whoever’s monitoring our phones”. Crazy world around us now days.

Since it came in in my email and had my name spelled right that's is what they are monitoring. Phone might be safe.
