Received call asking to except an emergency call....there was then no one there and when I tried to callback I got a roaming request

I too received a emergency call, when they said the call was collect from :____"  it was a little garbled, but sounded like the name of a family member who was travelling.  When I took the call, I couldn't understand the person and told them they had the wrong number.  I then had a text msg saying the call cost 9.99. It gave an 888 number.  A little later, I got another call from the same number offering phone minutes, and it would supposedly cost $9.99 to accept. I hung up.

I received an emergency call from this number .  It was like when a person is detained by the police , where it tells you the name of the family member and asked if wanted to accept the collect call .  It was impossible for me to get the call, therefore dialed the # that appeared in caller ID . When I was connected to the # it asked for me to say my name in order to get connected with someone, but got disconnected after I said my name .  Minutes latter I learned that my sister was at home and was in no trouble , I have no idea why I received this call.  Now I'm wondering if I'm going to get billed for the call .

I got a similar call from the same number. Says its an Emergency Collect Call from ___ john or something garbled and raspy. Once you say anything it will say something like. "Thank you, it will be $2.99 for the call, then $1.99 for each additional minute."

They have called like 5 times now since about 6pm last night. Today it sounded like my voicemail accepted one of these calls.

I think this is a scam.

I have been getting calls from this same number all week!! Just this morning, four in a row!!  Someone please put a stop to this.  My cell phone company says there is nothing they can do.  What else can we do?  They shouldn't be able to get away with this.
