I live in Washington state and received a call from this number on 5/28/07 at 1:52 pm and it came up "private caller".  I called this number back and it was answered with a message noting "the department of corrections number you are trying to call doesn't accept incoming calls".  This number has a North Carolina area code and I don't know of anyone there.  I'm wondering if they are now training convicts to be telephone solicitors!!!  Who's bright idea is it to do that and possibly have them obtain private info on us usable for identity theft!!!   I

I live in Washington and received a call from this number on 5-30-07, in the evening.  I didn't answer the call.  I had no idea where the call even was from until I did a reverse look up.  I don't know anyone at this number...if it is a corrections facility...in North Carolina?  They must think they can call whoever they want!

I live in Alaska and got a call from this number on 06.03.07 at 5:39pm.  I tried to call it back and I get a recording saying "The department of corrections number you trying to call does not accept incoming calls."  First of all, it is a North Carolina area code. I do not know anyone in NC or in Prison. Secondly, the call was made at 9:39pm North Carolina time.  Don't inmates have a bedtime!!!!

I live in Washington and got a call from this number at 10:39pm on June 6, 2007 and received the same details that I had reached a dept. of corrections and that they do not accept incoming calls.  10:39 PDT is 2:39am EDT.  Maybe this is a scam perpitrated by someone who's either not at the prison but using their line, or someone who's not an inmate?  I'm positive that I don't know anyone in either North Carolina, or jail (well, besides Paris Hilton, and I think I recall every station in the world confirming she's in California)

I do not know anyone in jail. I want them to stop calling me.

I also live in Washington state, which seems to be where all these calls are targeted. I won't call it back. It says "private caller" in the ID. It probably is someone trying to perpetrate I.D. theft.

I have received calls from this number on more than one occasion.I decided to put a stop to this nonsense.  I called the Dept of Corrections in N.C. to report this problem. I spoke with someone who will pursue it, but I also received from her a number to call to their billing dept. If you phone this number and follow the prompts to "other issue" you can speak with someone who can block your phone number from receiving calls from any phone in their corrections system. It is free and takes just a minute to set up. Otherwise their people tell me if you answer the call it goes through prompts to accept,decline or block the call which will then block that number only. I figure it is worth a little time to be off those bozos calling list for good.So here is the number to call: 1-800-844-6591.

i have been receiving several calls from this # in the last 2 days. i have found out that if you don't press 0 to decline the call, then the call goes through. the man on the other line asked who i was and then told me i sounded like his sister. he repeated the number he was trying to reach and i told him that he had the wrong #. he then continued to call back several times after that. and why does a prison in WA state have a North Carolina area code? I don't know anyone in prison!

I've been getting calls from this prison for weeks. I eventually accepted the collect charges and spoke with the guy. He asked for a bogus name. When I told him not to call anymore he mumbled something and hung up. I continue to get calls and now even at my business as well as my home. Most of the time the line is dead when i pick it up and then they call again in a few minutes. THIS IS PISSING ME OFF! I called the phone company today as well as the 800 number given by Frankie above (thanks) in the hopes that they can stop these calls. This is crazy! I'm told the calls may or may not stop. They don't even know for sure how to stop them. Time will tell.

Just got the call at 7:30 AM...I also live in Washington State. Said 'hello' once and heard a second or two of garbled something and then click-click and big black hole. Hung up and googled the number which brought me here. Appreciate the info I have received and won't answer again.

I just recieved 2 calls from n.c. correction at that number I also live4 in washington it pisses me off it is a private phone number

Just received a call from this number. The caller ID said it was from GTLINK from Durham, NC. I let my answering machine pick up the call and the automated voice gave me options to accept, decline, or block, etc. I didn't pick up the phone so I wasn't able to block it. The canned message  also said that if I accepted the call, I'd be billed $5.84 for the first minute and $.89 cents for each minute after that. A costly venture if you accept one of these calls!

I believe this is a call forwarding service called Global (A...) A person wishing to receive calls from an inmate would pre-pay at 800-483-8314. Once paid, the inmate could call you and this number shows up on the ID.  If there is no money on the account, the call cannot be completed and you are asked to call if you want to pre-pay.  On an answering machine it cuts off before the whole number is given.  I don't know about any scams- the payment is only for the number you provide.

I received a call from this number on 9/3/07 @ 10:55 p.m. On my caller I.D. it came up as a private number, I answered and an operator from Global said it was a collect call from an inmate who spoke a name I didn't understand, nor do I know anyone in prison so I hung up on the call. Thank you for providing the 800 number, though I hope, like I've seen in the postings above, this doesn't continue and I don't it.

I just received a call from this number. I answered the phone, and it went to a partial recording of "Cannot receive calls" and disconnected. I'm in Washington state as well. The DOC really needs to follow up on this!

The company is called Global Tel Link.  They forward collect or pre-paid calls from prisoners in many states.  Because it is a call forwarding system, most calls will show up as coming from North Carolina, which is probably where their phone center is located.  If you answer one of these calls, you will be given the option of blocking future calls.  Or you can contact Global Tel Link directly at 877-650-4249.  You can also fax them at 251-473-4588 or go to their website: www.globaltellink.com.

I have been recieving calls from this number since June, I will get down to the bottom of this, I think that its a scam as they asked me for the last 4 numbers of my ss# after putting my number in.
I also live in Washington state. I also do not appreciate these calls

i just got a call from this number at 9:49 pm WA state time. I live in Washington and i was worried it might be someone i know got in trouble but when i googled it i came here. when i picked up the phone it repeated twice that my number does not accept collect calls and then gave me a number to call for details. Somebody should really do something about thes beside ignoring it or blocking it.

I just got this call too from Global with a collect call from and inmate Scott.  Another scam at trying to get people I'm guessing?  I live in Canada so we are getting it up here too.  So sad.

I received a call from Private Name, 919-425-0016, also on 9/29/07 at 4:30pm and again at 4:34pm. It says "this # doesn't accept collect calls, but I can call antoher #". I didn't get the other # and just hung up. I too, don't know anybody in NC or in prison. When I did a reverse search, this is what I found:  Type: Land Line, Provider: Intermedia Communications
Location: Durham, NC. I love my caller ID, I won't be answering when this # call again.
