9722807286

got a call around 10:50pm on 7/30/12. didnt answer it, but they left a voicemail in spanish then in english said "inmate in washoe county" idk anybody in jail, i do have family in reno but they are NOT IN JAIL. NEXT TIME THEY CALL I WILL ANSWER AND SEE WHATS UP

I would never answer this number, there could some charge from a foreign country on your bill, like $1000 a mniute... try getting that off your bill.  Be wary!!

i got a call from this number alnight and they keep calling me kept me up all night

I got this call at 6 a.m. and didn't appreciate it!

If it's not a scam why don't they leave their name when it says "calling from"?  Complete scam.

wanted to know who is the person calling from 9722807286

I recieved two calls from this number one @ 657 one at 658 then at 1024 can i block this number?

It's not a scam the 972 number is the system that the prisons use for the inmates to make outgoing calls.
Either the prisoner is dialing the wrong number or the person they're trying to get a hold of changed their number, but if you have a metro pcs phone it's prolly because metro recycles their phone numbers if it hasn't been used in over three months, so that inmate prolly is dailing the right number but a different person has that number now.

Basically same message.  Call from Deerfield County jail with Dallas number.  I live in Texas and don't know of that county in this state.  Man's voice, totally non-understandable, one name only.  All the people I know who could be in jail either are, or I know where they are.  It takes so long to set up the account you don't get to talk to the person anyway even if it's legitmate.

Ask if I wanted to put money in my account... Hello I'm on the outside... Lmao!!!

this is not a scam cause i just recived a voice message saying would i like to acept a call from a imate at the branchville correction facilit and i have a friend serveing time there i dident acept it because im in bed and dont want to be bothered when im trying to sleep.I hope he calls back tommrow if He can.

I receive occasional calls from this number and the name given of the person
trying to call me is someone that I used to know.  Because they always reach
my answering machine, it's not a big deal and I just delete the message.  This person is in an Idaho prison facility, minimum security.

My Son is getting collect calls, on his cell phone, from Marion County Jail II, by the name of inmate of MUR.

In Spanish, which I don't speak. Several calls. Indicated an inmate from prison in Marion County. Call came in as one from Dallas, TX, according to my phone. Recorded message left. I never answered.

Sounds like some one called the facility and recorded the prerecorded message from the call they made BUT didn't get the complete recording

I have been getting calls from this number every day of the week just got one this morning on Sunday at 500 am. Really sick of it can never get anywhere with it.

Okay first of all, this is not a scam. Someone somewhere in a facility is trying to get ahold of family or friends. Second, no jail has the phone line on after ten pm and before 7 a.m. so some of you all are [***] stuff you obviously dont know about. Second, just becuase all your familly and friends are accounted for doesnt mean it wasnt someone you knew, get set to the drunk tank for one night, and this is still the number that will come up. To the dumbass who said hes on the outside, think about it. obviously it was in refrences to set up an account with your own number specificly, as opposed to sending an inmate money he can spend on anything, setting up an account with your number allows you to put money on the account that can only be used to call your number. THIRD, if you dont want the [***] call, call it back and it gives u an option to stop calls. in the time it took you to get on here and [***] about something you dont know about and make yourself look like idiots, call the number back and stop calls. THIS IS NOT A SCAM. It amazes me how dumb people are. And Troy is so completely right and its just sad and terrible how the world seems to think the way inmates are treated is okay. Do you realixe that someone who has murdered or a child rapists, get treated the exact same as someone who goes in there for stupid [***], like a Disorderly conduct (being loud) or someone who was hanging in the wrong place with the wrong people. They hacve the same damn rights. You go into jail with a  stupid meaningless misdemeanor and you come out of there with a whole different perspective in live because of the way people are treated in there. Imagine living dayd in and day out with murderers and etc. you have to learn to be a hard ass in there and it doesnt change people for the good. EVER. So stop bitching about this number because you dont realize how much one stupid minute call can do for an inmates day. stop bitching and put your name on the do not call list. just call the number. i Thank god everyday for this phone system so i can talk to my boyfriend whos been stuck in jail for months on lack or residency.

#depressed at how clueless people in this world are.

This number is to a company called Prison Call Solutions (PCS). They help inmates and their families have less expensive phone charges by deposing funds into an account that serves as a local calling card, to avoid long distance charges. this company serves all US jail facilities, hence all the different caller ID locations.

This number is from PCS - a company that handles MANY pay phones from MANY correctional facilities in the U.S. (both Federal and State Prisons). The voicemail left on my phone always cuts off the first part, so you have to listen to the whole message to hear the inmate's name as he says it (which is recorded before the call goes through to you).

Always at least listen to see who the inmate is, who is calling you, because I got a call from the son of some good friends of mine, who had moved to another state, and somehow, unfortunately, ended up with a short prison term. He was trying to get a hold of his parents (my friends) because he did not have either their new address or new phone number, yet. I didn't particularly want to talk to or "help," this person, but it ended up being for his parents, who I know hadn't heard from him in a few months and were very worried as to where he was (or what happened to him), so I did what I had to do in order to speak to him. But after the inmate says his name, the recording will say, "An inmate from ______ Correctional Facility in ________ (the name of the facility, and what state it's located in). So you could always just pass that information on (if you believe the inmate called you in order to reach someone else, who he's having trouble reaching), or call the facility to find out how to send mail to the inmate, if you don't want to incur the cost of the phone call.

Jails and prisons only allow inmates to either make collect calls or via a pre-paid account. In many of them, the "collect calls" are no longer done the "old fashioned" way - where the other party simply accepts the collect call, and the "cost" of the call is added on to the accepter's monthly phone bill. Many correctional facilities use companies like PCS, who have the "accepter" of the calls make an account with them, where they then have the choice of making a pre-paid account for the inmate (where you put funds onto an account number electronically with a credit or debit card), and the inmate has to use that account number when making calls (and there may be an option for him to use that account number to call anyone he wants, or just you - the person who is paying for the calls), or you keep your credit or debit card number on file in this account, and it gets charged only on a per-call basis (where the offender is allowed to only call you/your number).

So this call gives you several options - it will ask you if the phone being called is your account number or not, and tries to see if it has an account or not (for acceptance purposes). If they find no account, they ask you if you want to create one or speak to a customer service rep, or if you want to deny the current call, or deny the current call and then block all future calls from that number.
