Imagine your phone rings at 4 a.m. and a stiff‑voiced operator says an inmate wants to talk. That's the classic pattern behind the 800‑943‑2189 calls that many users label as a scam. The service usually asks you to set up a prepaid account or press a key to connect, then charges per‑minute fees that add up quickly. If you have no relative in jail, hang up immediately and block the number. Report the call to your carrier and to the state consumer protection agency. Never share personal or banking information, and consider adding the caller to your phone’s block list to stop future attempts.
Some person in jail has been caling me, just to insult me, and i dont even know them, thats just wrong
I feel so speical to be loved by somone sweet, Mrs Henley
Probaby its not the actual owner of the number, but rather a scammer using a spoofed number
I'm aware the calls aren't from an inmate but from NCIC, and I don't want to receive calls from them
Since getting a new number, I've been receiving frequent calls from 8009432189, which I'd like to stop.
Repeated calls are being made from this number without any messages or answers.
Recieved a call at 7:10 am, and immediatly told them to stop calling, I explained that I was still asleep and dont apreciate the early calls, the lady claimed I had called them, which wasnt true!
I'm not recieving calls from the NCIC system for coffee county jail, despite trying to contact customer service and unblocking the number, my friend is getting upset and thinks i'm ignoring him, please help me resolve this issue.
Seems like alot of people get collec calls from inmate Fresbee ??? from this number
It appears to be a legitimate call.
I recieved a call from the Clark county jail, but I dont know anyone there, so I hope it stops
Upon receiving a lengthy message from an 'operator' regarding an inmate, I investigated the number and found it to be associated with a company that facilitates inmate calls, which seems pricey and best avoided unless you know the inmate.
Today, a total of nine calls have been received from an unknown individual, highlighting the magnitude of the issue.
I need to know the name of the facility
It appeare's to be a correctional facility, if you call the number and press 8, they will tell you which inmate calle you
I recieved 9 voicemails from this number in the past 2 days, didnt notice until I checked my voicemail, the message didnt have any caller identifcation but said to press x to accept or y to block, I called back and they said somone named Dwayne Allen was calling, I dont know who that is.
The recording often starts at different points, making it difficult to discern the caller's name.
Early this morning, around 3:00 a.m., I received a call from this number, allegedly from Russell County Jail; I'm trying to identify the caller.
It's unlikely you'll receive a response from someone who posted nearly a decade ago.
The caller's identity remains unknown, with no prison information provided, and despite 20 attempts, I couldn't answer or obtain any further details.
I recived two calls from this number, one at 9:30pm and another at 10:50pm, its getting a bit harasging
Beware of this scam, as it tricks you into pressing options, supposedly to be added to a do-not-call list, but it's likely a ploy to get you to engage, and with frequent calls, it's best to hang up immediately!
Federal guidelines dictate that the inmate's name should be included in calls from the National Crime Information Center
Initially, it was referred to as NCIC, not MCIC, implying a process of committing a crime, getting arrested, and being sentenced before being assigned to a prison.
The meaning of MCIC inmate is unclear, and it's uncertain how someone becomes an MCIC inmate
It seems necessairy to do some reseach before posting, you cant even be bothered to check the date of a post befor answring
It is actualy NCI, a legitamate companey that provides a way for inmates to call friends and loved ones, perhaps some research should be done before spreading nonsence...
A call was recieved from 800-943-2189 at midnight, in which a message was left in Spanish; upon calling back, a woman with a Spanish accent explianed it was a collect call from an inmate at the NCIC Border Patrol Beyer facility.
Apparently, the caller from 800-943-2189 spoke spanish and I havn't a clue who it was or what they were trying to say.
The same thing happend to me too
