Expert Opinion
Block the number right away if you suspect a scam. Many callers use a recorded collect call script that pretends to be from a correctional facility, but the repeated, unwanted rings are a classic sign of fraudulent activity. Never call back the number; instead, verify any legitimate contact through the institution’s official website or by calling a known public number. Add the caller to your phone’s block list and register the line with the national Do Not Call registry. Report the incident to the FTC and your state consumer protection agency. If you’re unsure, let the call go to voicemail and listen for official identifiers before taking any action.

This number made contact at 6:35 EST on a Sunday morning, an unusual time for legitimate business calls.
The purpose of the call was unclear, but its legitimacy is highly questionable.

Please dont block this number, many of us might want to recieve calls from them, and with such a small window of time, i might not hear from them in another week, it will be a problem.

It's unclear whether this call is a collect call or if the inmate has an account, but this is the number that appears on the caller ID.
The caller simply said 'hey' before ending the call.

The app's behavior is unacceptable, and I demand that it stops blocking calls and be deleted due to its poorly designed functionality.

I was asked to accept charges for a collect call from a nearby detention center for an unrecognized name. Since I don't know anyone in jail, I advise against engaging with the call or calling back; instead, hang up and report the incident.

I received unwanted calls from this number and do not want any further contact
I've been inundated with calls from this number, and after answering once on Thanksgiving to inform them they had the wrong person, the calls ceased for a day. However, the calls resumed the next morning, with at least six calls received.
Despite having a general rule, it has been necessary to answer the last two calls from this number.
Most calls from this number are from someone in jail who knows the recipient, as has been the case recently
In my experiance, this number is actually used by an inmate at a prison or correctional facility, not a scammer, it's a prepaid call from an inmate who may have the wrong number, if it asks for your credit card info, dont give it, thats just commen sence

To stop the incessant calls from this number, I started pressing Talk and then Off, which disconnects the call, and I hope that simply answering won't incur any charges on my phone bill.

It appears that many people have recived calls from this numbre, which is concering.
A call was received from this number, with a person claiming to be Billy on the other end, but it seemed to be a case of mistaken identity as they apparently dialled the wrong number.
An unsettling experience occurred when this number called late at night, leaving a callback number, which proved to be quite bothersome.
A recording claiming to be a collect call from an inmate was received, but I did not answer as my caller ID indicated it was from a jail or prison.
