Expert Opinion
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.

Frequent calls from this number have become a daily nuisance, especially since my boyfriend, who is currently incarcerated in Forks, WA, has a set up with Global Tel Link, and I've grown tired of receiving these calls every day, despite having his picture set to appear when he calls, and I'm concerned about how this California prison with a Texas number obtained my number, which I tried to inquire about when I called the number, but the customer representative was unhelpful and only offered to block inmates from calling me, without providing any useful information
