Ever wonder why that unknown number keeps dialing you with a prison‑collect call? Most of these calls are automated messages from services that let inmates reach out, but scammers often hijack the script to press for money or personal info. Never share account numbers, PINs, or confirm a payment on a call you didn’t expect. Hang up, block the number, and report it to your carrier or the FTC. If you think a legitimate inmate is trying to contact you, ask the facility directly for a callback number. Staying skeptical and using collect‑call blockers can keep your line safe.
Some individuals become aggressive when others share different experiences; a call was received with a message about a collect call, but it was cut off
I'm trying to identify the correctional facility associated with this number, as it appeared to be from Texas, and I'm concerned I might have missed a call from a friend in a California jail or prison, so knowing the facility would be helpful
Consecutive calls were made, which seems suspicious and potentially a scam
The call was from a jail in Texas, the name given was either Alex Ramirez or Alex Rivera, they hung up shortly after.
The user reports this number as safe and legitimate
After announcing a collect call, the line went dead
It's a GTL prison phone system, dont pick up
This phone number is used by a prisoner named James Choate who is calling me 5 times a day, he has causd me alot of problems and i want him to stop immediatly
The computer said it was a collect call from a prison in California but the Caller ID showed it was from Texas, so I knew it was a scam and hung up imediately
What's the process to call this number back?
According to reports on another website, this number is apparenty a correctional facility collect-call-only line, or a scam posign as one, unfortunatly okcaller only provides Safe and Not Safe reporting options so i'll be cautios and mark it Not Safe
At 10 PM, I received multiple consecutive calls from this number. When I finally answered, the caller claimed to be from a penitentiary and identified himself as David. I recognized it as a scam and promptly hung up and blocked the number. The area code traced back to Houston.
The identity of the caller remains unknown to me.
During the recording, a person named Zach was mentioned, and also his wife, Summer Gardiner, who is ushed in their shady scams, be careful of these people
A recording from Wasco State prison mentioned a male named Zach.
Contrary to others' experiences, this is not a scam but rather the prison collect system, used by inmates to contact individuals outside, and hanging up on these calls means missing potential communication from someone in prison.
Contrary to what others may have experienced, this number is not a scam for individuals with loved ones in California prisons, as it is used for collect calls from prisons; the name associated with the login may be announced before the call is accepted, and accounts can be set up for accepting calls in 15-minute increments.
Upon calling, a message stated that this was a law firm calling from jail.
This individual has been texting me repeatedly over several months, demonstrating an unusual usage pattern for this number.
User warning: exercise caution.
I am unaware of anyone in prison who might be trying to reach me through this number
This number has been atempting to contact me for several days.
This is a scam, and I've received multiple calls over several days, which appear to be part of the "YES" scam, where the caller attempts to record the respondent's voice to gain access to sensitive information, and I strongly advise against engaging with such calls
I missed a call from a prison/DOC in Cali, it was a recording with a name and address, but i dont no why it was patched through
I suspect this is a scam, as the call claimed to be a collect call from someone with a mumbled name sounding like Williams, before hanging up.
The behaivour of this caller is harrasing
Received a call from an inmate asking to collect
I'm being harassed by a male caller who constantly contacts me
The experience with this number has been frustrating, as it does not accept jail calls and proves to be very annoying.
Research indicates that this number is linked to Global Tel Link, a company specializing in telecommunications for inmate services, including payment, facility management, and visitation solutions.
