972-280-7286

this no. has been popping up since oct.23 when my boyfriend called me from northeast correctional center in bowling green mo. . i thought it was strange because all the other calls started out as 888 from the prison

This # jus popped up when my bf called frm southeast correctional center in mo... Didnt answer because of the unfamiliar # but the automated voice thing left a message.......... Strange..

yeah there number was 188, not sure what happened I ignored the number thinking it was a bill collector, I recieved a notification for a voicmail on my cell and then I heard the recording " you have a call from SOUTHEAST correctional facility, lmao they should warn us that the number was chaning, I would have answered the phone.

the first two calls i got from the facility where the 888-288-9879 number...now a day later and i am getting the 972-280-7286 number. they would not tell me their name or who even ran the place and hung up. caller id says PCS.

Its PCS. i used to get calls from my boyfriend from a 888-288-9879. he's in same facility but now number coming up 972-280-7286. and for some reason its same recording, however it cuts off and call ends at 12 seconds. Doesn't even get to the point where i can hit 0 to accept the call. Any ideas?

My message was in Spanish from the Marion County Jail.  It was Christmas Eve.  Hope the caller didn't waste his one call because of a wrong number.

I got the call and it was a courtesy one minute call from a correctional institution.  It's basically for an inmate to ask you to set up a phone account or put money on an existing one.

My bro called me from a federal facility in Downtown San Diego

Number comes back to PCS  - they help prisoners make phone calls.  Severely creeped out they are trying to use my number for anything.  I am guessing some prisoner in Chilcothe Ohio was trying to bill my phone for her phone calls.

Need to keep an eye on phone bill to make sure there are no surprise charges on it.

I have received several calls from this number with the exact same collect call message saying it was from the grady county correctional facility.I'm sure it some kind of scam since the inmates voice who says his message is exactly the same and exact same words and tone.it is basicly a recording.

I got a call at 11.36 at night from this number no one answer. We have elderly parent and do not calls like this later at night!!!!!!

I got my phone in December 2010.I got a few strange calls and text messages but they eventually stopped.All except one;this number (972-280-7286) kept calling me.They would call me at least twice a week.They would call while I was at school so I was never able to answer but they did leave voice messages which were just the recordings.So today I got the same call and i answered.The recording said it was from the southeast corectional facility and someone named antwon said their name. I was given the option to reject/ignore the call and prevent the call.I hope they dont call again.Because if they do I'm getting my number changed...

got a call on my cell from 972-280-7286..i didn't answer, but i called back on my work line.  Got PCS, automated attendant, asking if i wanted to associate my phone number with a correctional facility account.

i just got a call from this number. I am at library computer room and could not pick-up so went on line and found out its probably from a correctional facility. Is it a scam to get people to pick-up or should I assume its someone I know? my kids and grandkids are all accounted for on the outside at this time.

This was a collect call from a friend of mine who is in the Dona Ana New Mexico Dention Center.

I don't think this is a scam, cuz I called the detention center office to get the booking # of my friend who called me collect from this number, and they were able to provide it to me once I gave them his name and told them that I wanted to send him a letter in the mail, but it requires hi full name & booking # on the address info.

Some of you should try to change your attitude against people who are in that situation. I did a little over 2 years and the ONLY way to contact the outside world or your loved ones was through this system. Most people I meet have no idea that i've been through all that but it's made me a better person and also enlightened me as to how 90% of our prisons are. They are wharehouses for storing people basically, people from all walks of life most of whom got caught with drugs as i did. Our government is working very hard to try to criminalize most of us and uses drugs as one of the main tools to do so. The goal is to disarm us and eventually erode our constitutional rights to nothing. Of course by that time each of us will have been run through the system for SOMETHING and will be forbiden to have a gun thereby eliminating resistance to their ultimate plan. Anyway keep in mind that prisons are completely full at all times with people exactly like yourself. family, friends, neighbors, ect. I was doing time with people imprisoned for no car insurance, verbal assault, drinking in public, and all sorts of minor things that not long ago would only be misdemeanors. Those scary looking prisons on tv are the maximum prisons and make up only a very small percentage of inmates. (These inmates in max are in my opinion the only people that have done really serious crimes and harm to persons and do deserve to be there, but the other 90% do not deserve to be there and are good people being victimized by a corrupt system) Do not talk bad about any inmates. Forget to pay your car insurance a couple times or yell at your spouse and you'll have your turn trying desperatly to reach someone on the blue phone to beg a measely 20 bucks to buy shampoo, soap, and other vitals for the next 2 months.

I have been receiving them for 2 days. Collect call from Scrooge at the Franklin County Correction center (Columbus Ohio)..

It's a scam, fishing attempt to use your phone to second party bill u. Don't answer, just ignore it and it will go away. They will be persistent, so you need to be as well.

FOR OVER A WEEK, CONSTANT CALLING FROM PHONE NUMBERS  from 972-280-7286 and another from 888-288-9879. Wants me to connect to PCS, Says Kern County Jail, in Bakersfield California. REALLY TIRED OF IT!
