A person posted on Reddit today:
I come to this Reddit just to warn people if you receive an email from SoFi about student loans and plaid that reads like this.
As of August 27, 2024, Plaid is no longer providing data for federal loan servicers. You will need to upload documentation of student loan payments made between August 27, 2024 and December 31, 2024 (by no later than ) to ensure those payments count towards your employer’s 401k match.
This is a SCAM email. They sent this to my wife who went to college overseas and has never had student loans. Don’t click the links, contact SoFi through the app not the phone number in the email.
I got the EXACT SAME fake e-mail today.
I was fortunate enough to never have any student loans, so I knew right away the e-mail made no sense.
