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.
