Expert Opinion
If you see a call from +1‑800‑483‑8314 it’s almost always an automated GTL message pretending an inmate needs money for a collect call. These are classic scam tactics – they play on family worries and try to get you to hand over credit‑card info or fund a prepaid line. Never share personal or payment details, and don’t call back the number. Hang up, block the caller, and if you think a loved one really needs help, contact the prison directly using an official number you find on their website. Stay skeptical and protect your wallet.

A recorded message was received from this number, stating that someone from a correctional facility had attempted to contact me, but the message did not provide an option to opt-out or further information; it instead offered the option to set up an account using my credit card information or hang up if such an account already existed.

It's mysterious and irritating to receive calls about someone being in jail when I don't know anyone in such a situation.
Somebody is calling my cell phone, but i dont know who it is, i dont give out my cell phone number often
I've been getting these calls too, i checked the jail website and didnt find anything, they claim its from a prison in San Diego, CA, but the number is from a company in Texas, sounds pretty fishy to me.
A series of scam calls were received, including two from the local area code and a third from an 800 number, all leaving the same voicemail message about an inmate. After verifying with family and friends, it's clear that none of them are in jail or prison, and all the numbers have been blocked.

I received a mysterious call from (800) 483-8314 and have no idea who the caller is.
Observations indicate that these callers utilize multiple numbers, initially contacting via collect calls, then offering the option to purchase time on a card, suggesting a complex scam operation.
Greetings, Robin,
A voice mail was left on my phone from offenderconnect.com, stating that an inmate was attempting to contact me
I have received two calls on my cell phone, stating that there is a collect call for me, which I believe may be from a jailhouse, and I do not wish to receive such calls.

I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from calling me again. Thank you.
The term 'wayward' is quite rude, in my opinion.

Suspicious calls have been received from this number and another, requesting deposits into an account, which appears to be a scam
Numerous individuals claim that the calls originate from correctional facilities, but it's unclear how often these calls are permitted. Despite having no connection to the phone number or jail, I receive frequent calls. It's imperative that they cease contacting me.
It's really frustrating to recieve a missed call from this number and when you call back there is no way to speak to a person in charge or somthing, there's no voicemail either
The purpose of this call seems to be a ploy to charge for unwanted calls under false pretenses.

Prison inmate
We recently changed our number and began receiving calls from an 800 number, which appears to be from a prison inmate who is unaware that the number has been reassigned, but thankfully, the issue is being addressed with Global Tel Link
Calls were received twice on Thursday, February 27th, 2014, but the automated system was unintelligible, leading to suspicion of a scam and hanging up.
