multiple calls  who is this?

It is the Santa Clara County department of corrections. Someone is calling you from the holding cell.

Who is calling me from this number.

I have gotten phone calls from this number the last two nights.

Recorded female voice says "blah blah County Department of Corrections… to accept this free call, say hello after pressing blah blah." Don't fall for it. Fraud--scam--harasser--thief. Don't do anything except report this call to Police or Sheriff. It's probably a prisoner trying to wheedle his way into your life and/or steal from you. Block this number forevermore. To you callers of such calls, up yours.

i didnt answer it, now after reading all this i wish i had, i grew up in san jose, and i have many friend there as well. shoot i wonder who got in trouble this time. i myself, am no stranger to those free calls from inside the cell

Apparently this number is a scam. Another blogger said he saw it was on the news that by accepting the call charges, you're allowing these scamers to charge long distance calls to your humber. DON'T ACCEPT

recieved 10 consecutive calls on my cell phone from this numner between 12:11PM and 12:33PM on Friday March 13, 2009.  It was a spanish language robot each time.

just wanting to know who called me and why

I received a call this morning about 5:00am in the morning I was asleep, not knowing what I was pressing on the key pad, I heard a voice saying his name,

I received two calls one immediately after another from 408-353-5000 this morning. These was no human on the other end; i.e., these were robot calls. The message claimed the call is from Santa Clara county department of corrections and asked if I want to accept the free call. I refused by pressing '1' (this was an option) and hung up. A few seconds later I got another call from the same number.

This is the mail jails holding cell phone number (the free payphones)

If you're from the area or familiar with the area code, this is NOT a scam. It is the San Jose Jail. Someone you know is probably calling you to let you know they're locked up. I received over 15 missed calls and decided to trust others who wrote that it was the San Jose/Santa Clara County Jail and pressed 0 to accept the call. Sure enough it was someone I knew who needed bail. Good Luck.

I started getting calls from this number today and already have gotten 5+ call from it now. I answered it and yeah it's the Santa Clara Jail and the after the collect information said someone named Jason was calling me so I hung up. I got another one and this time in the person's name spot I got "bi*** you better answer". I'm a little freaked out and now really nervous.

got the call last night. Still trying to determine if it was anyone I know

I also got a call from 408-352-5000 yesterday afternoon.. I dont know anyone in jail. Good news to hear im not the only one :)

It is the San Jose Jail.

recently I just started gettn collect call request from this number at all hours of the nite and also a male person call from a land line in the same area 408-947-9629.  It is really startn to piss me off.  So ready to call the BBB and any other means to protect myself.  A suggestion is that you might want to call you phone service and advise to block those numbers.

just got a call... 10:35pm. i didn't answer. going to bed....

it is the Santa Clara County Main JAIL for SURE!  Most likely a friend got a dui if you got a call early in the morning.  It is the holding cell!

its someone from santa clara county jail trying to get a hold of someone

same as Anon, got two calls from this number so far with the same message,press 5 for customer service,to refuse this pre-paid call press 1 etc...

pretty sure it is main jail! dumb A$$ buddy just got his second "DUM" (DUI).
only accept if you like the person that ended up there!

408 is a San Jose, CA number.  I received 10+ calls from them, and they all left the same message: for customer service, press 5, to refuse this pre-paid call press 1, to prevent calls, press 6, to report as harrassing telephone call, press 8. I answered twice and heard nothing, so assumed it was some kind of scam.  I get a call about 5 minutes after the last call and my best friend said he'd been trying to call me for the last 5 hours from a holding cell.  It's not a scam, it really is the main jail in San Jose.

Here it's still going on a year later! I just got the call tonight... good to know and thanks for your help!
