These calls do not involve random details; rather, it is likely that someone you know, possibly an inmate, is trying to reach you for assistance with specific issues, such as a car being impounded or notification of their jail status to an employer. Inmates typically call numbers they know by heart, as access to their cell phones is limited. To identify who might be calling and from where, consider contacting GlobalTelLink or reviewing the inmate roster at the relevant facility

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.
