Bloquea inmediatamente cualquier número que solicite datos de tarjeta o pago para llamadas de preso. Estas llamadas suelen presentarse como recordatorios de fondos bajos en cuentas de servicios penitenciarios como GTL y buscan cobrar mediante collect call. Verifica siempre la legitimidad del mensaje: no ingreses datos personales, revisa el sitio oficial del servicio y consulta con la institución carcelaria. Si la llamada es inesperada, marca el número como spam y activa el filtro de tu operador. Mantén una lista de números bloqueados y comparte la experiencia con familiares para evitar que otros caigan en la trampa. La precaución es la mejor defensa contra estafas de prisión.
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.
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
For iPhone users, blocking this number is a viable solution to the problem.
Evidently, when this number calls, it provides an option to block inmate calls; if you take a moment to listen, you'll discover that someone in prison has your number as a contact, and you can block all such calls.
Someone I know has frequent interactions with the law, and I'm trying to figure out how to contact them again
Similar to other reports, this call pertained to carrier billing, and a voicemail was left requesting the pressing of buttons, which seems highly suspicious.

If you receive a call from an unknown number, it might be because someone you know has been arrested and is trying to contact you
Following a call from 7135686986 regarding prepaid minute shortages, a subsequent call from 8004838314 was missed, and upon callback, it was claimed to be from a jail or training facility, after which a request was made to stop calling, requiring the creation of a 4-digit passcode.
I'm pretty shure that 800-483-8314 is the number that inmate's use to call collect, and 713 number's are for prepaid call's, which are free, so why wouldn't you answer a free call?
To avoid unwanted calls from unknown numbers, Android users can utilize a call blocker app, and all users should report such incidents to the Do Not Call registry.
After being contacted twice, the decision was made to block the number without answering.
Unfortunately, I was not given the opportunity to opt-out of these calls.
Following two marketing calls from this number, a search was conducted, and upon contacting them, it was confirmed to be a marketing call, with the suggestion to contact the department of corrections to potentially halt the calls.

In response to George's inquiry, it's unclear whether inmates are permitted to make late-night calls, as the specifics of lockdown times are unknown
I have also received late-night calls from another number, 800-483-8314, which I believe is a prison attempting to set up an account using a credit card, but I am unable to understand the language spoken
This number is part of a prison phone system, requiring recipients to set up an account to receive calls, with the initial call being a collect call announcement from the relevant prison; as my carrier does not accept collect calls, pre-payment is necessary for the prisoner to make contact.
