Inmate Collect Call Scam? How to Stop Midnight Rings!
Summary — +18009432189
Expert Opinion
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.
