Beware of unexpected calls from +1‑877‑710‑1116 that claim to be from an inmate or a prison service. These messages often use a recorded voice, mention a free short‑term call, and then pressure you to add money to an inmate’s account or disclose personal information. The number is linked to companies like Securus that handle prison communications, and it is frequently abused by scammers posing as loved‑ones or correctional officials. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never share payment details. Verify any legitimate inmate calls directly with the correctional facility using official contact numbers, not the caller‑provided link.
The caller ID said unsaved, left a robotic voice message, saying i should press 1 to hear a free message, then mentioned Securus Technologies, a US prison tech company, dont need that, probaly a scam
The call is legitimate, but only relevant if you have a connection to someone who is incarcerated, otherwise it's safe to ignore.
Nesesito saber de que Correctional y estado está
That dosnt make sence, acepting a collect call dosnt alow the caller to use your number for anyting else, you have to acept the charges each time
I'm curious, what led you to that theory, or is it just speculation?
A scam aims to make collect calls, potentially running up phone bills, by claiming a loved one is incarcerated.
If you're not home, they'll leave a message asking you to press 1, just hang up, it's a scam, moniter your caller ID
It is advisable to ignore unrecognized numbers and block them to avoid potential scams
The call was answered, but details are lacking.
A recorded message claimed to be a free call from an inmate, but when I accepted, they asked for someone else, and I ended the call.
i had about 3 or 4 calls from this number, i was never able to answer, but when i checked my voicemail, it said it was a collect call from a correctional facility, i dont have any family member or friend in a correctional facility, i really believe this are scam call
Upon receiving a call, a recorded message identified an individual in jail, but since the name was unfamiliar, the call was ignored, and despite multiple subsequent calls, the decision to block Securus has not been made, due to the possibility of a legitimate concern
Following a call from this number, there has been complete radio silence, and it's unclear why they reached out initially. Given the call type options, it seems probable that this was a scam. If the call was indeed related to a prison, it's puzzling that they would contact me, of all people.
A missed call was received from this number at 9 am, though I do know someone currently incarcerated
Erica, do you no where this jail located, this number calle my phone and i need to no the location
The caller claimed to offer a 30-second free call from an inmate.
Inmates shouldnt be allowed to make calls to anyone except thier lawyers.
Maybe you have wrong number, it take us only 15 minute to resolve issue
The call was from an inmate, but attempting to add funds to their account has been frustrating, with a total of 2 hours spent on hold.
Attempts have been made by inmates to contact me

I wish they would stop calling me
Given the nature of these calls, as described in other posts, which appear to originate from jail, it's concerning that such calls occur despite being on the do-not-call list, highlighting the need for more effective call-blocking measures.
It appeares to be a scam, I dont know anyone in jail, didnt answer and wont answer unknown calls, very irritaing
this number has been calling repeatedley, atleast three times this week, but the purpose of the call is unkown
Me and my son been gettin calls from this number alot, but we dont know who it is, and i think it might be a scam cuz i used to work in a prison and i know how inmates make random calls to scam peoples
This is a jail house call scam, and it is essential to be cautious and not fall for it.
