Given my friend's current situation, I was expecting a legitimate call, and I hope that's what this is, especially since I've already added funds to the account.
Securus call scams: what to watch for!
Summary — +18777101116
Expert Opinion
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.
