People are idiots they think everything is a scam. It is the company that handles calls from jail. They are asking for your inf because the person in jail calling is on hold praying you will agree to pay $1.75 for a 15 min call. If you get this call. Please find the heart to pay and take the call. It is the only way they have to reach anyone. It could be an emergency!

Yeah, but its not the "company" who is trying to talk to you now is it? Jails are filled with criminals, so it is only natural to assume it might be a scammer calling. Those systems bill your phone service provider if you "accept the charges", not request Credit Card info. That is done from a different process to allow you to put money on the inmate's "account".

Those systems are designed to allow the person to give their name and the automated system tells the call recipient who is calling, so if you don't know who it is, why pay "just to talk" to them?

Who would have an emergency in jail that would be calling some random person and use the inmate call system? Your not making sense!

It has to be a scam. I have had the same phone number since 2005 and do not know anyone in jail. Last night I got a spam call from someone in jail and not this number calling.

Um, what? Care to try that again, using full sentences this time?

I do not know anyone in prison nor have I ever set up an account with this company. So who in prison would be trying to call me? Someone trying to scam me out of money. The message I received didn't give the name of their company just a phone number.

I received calls from this number, but I don't have any friends or relatives in jail.  Therefore, it sounds like a scam to me.

Came up as potential spam on phone so didn’t answer. Looked up number here and said from prison/jail.  Interesting, in that about an hour ago I got a call from different number which was also jail/prison in TN. Don’t know anyone in jail/prison.

Did not know who it was from.
Do not want any more calls from this number.
Not interested speaking w/anyone in jail.

It's probably an inmate calling to scam you.

Have received calls from said number,  not familiar number so not answered, appears as scam.

Don’t know anyone in a place like this! I believe this number has been spoofed by scammers to sucker someone into thinking a loved one is on the inside!! Also how you know it’s suspect, I have had people tell me you get a name of the one trying to call you during the message!! This doesn’t give a name of “who” is calling!!

An emergency in a place like that is handled by the guards!! There is no one I know in a place like that!! Also, to up and randomly call a number you never called before is also suspicious!! Only idiots will believe what you are trying to say because this IS A SCAM!!! As I have found out, when someone inside calls you, there name is given at the beginning of the message!!

Well, the one thing that we do know for sure is that a criminal is making the call!  :)

Yes it's a scam, it's a way for inmates to use & bill your  ph. #. I work for the Phone Co. DON'T CALL BACK.

sorry friend
not in the mood to talk to someone in jail today

Called left no message. Blocked caller instantly.

I agree with you 100%! I am tired of getting different numbers from jail. How in the hell are they getting my number???  Aggravating-especially at 407 and 423 in the am. Not happy!
