This guy called Carlos Ernesto Coreas keeps calling me and calling me and its annoying, He is also threating my boyfriend that is in another jail if i dont answer his calls. And i want these calls to stop N0W!

two calls from this number  with no identification of who the inamte is. For the life of me I do not think it is a real call and felt like it was a scam to get cc info.

someone calling my cell from this number

Yeah, Suwanda, it's obvious you've never had a loved one incarcerated. Inmates are able to call A LOT of the time and they are able to make multiple calls a day. When they ar classified at the prison, they have a choice to record their name. They do not have to. That explains why there was no name stated. And when you gave the company a fake credit card number to see if it was a scam or not they declined your credit card because it was fake, not because it was a scam. Global Tel Link is a real company and I have an active account right now for my loved one who is in prison. If you feel uneasy about answering calls from prison, don't.

need to find out who it is calling me i got two people in jail that i know one  is in pinallas country the other is up by the panhandal

Keep getting calls stating "from LA County Lockup Facility". However, a name is never told. Since I don't know the phone number showing on my Caller ID, I do not answer. I don't know anyone who would be calling on my cell phone. Anyone I know would have call my home number also, if they were in a lockup facility. Wish they would stop calling!!!!!!!

This is fake because one time i did answer it when my loved one was in jail and it was a man whom i didnt knw telling me to bail him out ... he was crazy ... so now when i get this call i dnt answer them .... so whoever says this is NOT a scam explain that ??? and when my loved one really did call me it was a free call and he stated his name.

"Oh yeah, the people who are so called posting that they are receiving calls from their loved ones... they are LIARS! For one... I didn't know inmates could call you multiple times a day at multiple hours because that stupid number keeps calling me. Two... if you have ever watched a movie... then you should know that when you receive a collect call from an inmate they state the inmates first and last name. Come on people... be smart and stay alert!"

Actually, my loved one did state their name, in their own voice and I know for a fact he's there. Also, the website for the place he's at does say there are several payphones for them to use... So we're not all liars. Be smart and alert and don't believe everything you see in the movies. It could just be someone with a wrong number.

Received this call on my cell phone and I know no one who is in prison. I did not accept it.

these phone calls need to stop. i do not except collect calls from jail.

Message said it was from an inmate in the detension center.  That would be my stepson who was arrested in mid June.

..again, this number (866-800-0234) will only appear in your "caller I.D." if an inmate at one of the DOC facilities, is trying to make a collect call.

I didn't answer the call.
Caller ID had Toll Free Call
             866-800-0234

I called it back and got this message;
For calls originating from this number -
Please contact the inmate cell phone service provider.

the number is 1 866 230 7761 but it shows up unknown.

It came in because my fiance is an inmate at twin towers correctional facility and I had 200 dollars worth of calls on my phone already and they wont let you go over that without setting up an account with Global Tel Link.  I know it's not a scam because I talked to a bunch of people at the LA county jail and that is what I have to do to let him reach me unless I put more money on his books for him to buy a phone card.

Why was I called

Oh yeah, the people who are so called posting that they are receiving calls from their loved ones... they are LIARS! For one... I didn't know inmates could call you multiple times a day at multiple hours because that stupid number keeps calling me. Two... if you have ever watched a movie... then you should know that when you receive a collect call from an inmate they state the inmates first and last name. Come on people... be smart and stay alert!

PLEASE PEOPLE DO NOT ANSWER ANY CALLS FROM THIS PHONE NUMBER IT IS SPAM and definitely a big SCAM!

They falsely call you. They generally get numbers from your resumes that you may have publicly posted online. They call you and make you THINK that someone from your LOCAL COUNTY JAIL is calling you collect. They ASK you to create a pre-paid account in order to accept the phone call. DO NOT ENTER YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION! Because once you enter your credit card information, they will say that your card has been decline and the call will disconnect... leaving them with your credit card number! I entered a fake credit card number to see how far the prompt goes... so that's how I know all of this information. PEOPLE PLEASE USE CAUTION!

This is a real call from a county jail or a state prison. Call the number back and set up an advance pay acount if you wish to speak to your loved ones. Or you can call your phone provider and have inmate collect calls blocked.

calling at 330 in the morning. what tha f***! with all the credit card buying online lately for christmas........i dont know . but im watching

From 12:50 AM to 3:35 AM I recieved 12 calls from this number !!! And again 4 times since 9:30 AM this morning. Not sure who this is, but when I hit redial the recording said to learn more about the number call my local inmate service provider.

this is not a scam. my boyfriend is in juvie and he has been callin me but the only way to accept it is by acceptin collect calls or gettin prepaid account , this is not a fake .

its a real number...my ex calls me all the time...you do have to put in all your credit card info if you accept but the thing is sometimes it takes so long to do the credit card thing, by the time its done the inmate may have hung up thinking you didnt accept, thats why it will disconnect after you give your info!!

this is from a jail inmatet. my boyfriend also has been calling me from this he told me he was goin to be arrested so it is an inmat it's not a scam. =[ nd it hurts more that i cant talk to him. if anyone could give me information how to reach him or anythin please let me know

These cell phone service people PISS ME OFF, how the hell are you going to give our numbers to telemarketers without our permission? Isn't that invading our PRIVACY?? I would definately show concern when getting any prison number on your cell phone unless your "inmate" buddy has one hiding in his cell. Otherwise as far as I know a true inmate can NOT call you on a cell phone. In fact my brother in law is in prison system and I pay my phone bill ONLINE...and I do NOT provide my credit card information on the cell phone...NEVER, EVER!! So call GTL 1-800-231-0193 and they will ask for your number that is getting the prison calls and they will verify whether or not they have verification that someone TRULY is calling from a GTL Correctional facility. My mom was getting these calls EARLY in the morning and I called GTL and the automated voice said they did not have any records of an inmate calling that number. THIS IS TOTAL ABUSE OF PRIVACY WHEN THE CELL PHONE COMPANIES RELEASED OUR CELL NUMBERS TO THE TELEMARKETERS!!! Call the National DO NOT CALL list and in 30 days this should stop the telemarketers from calling 888-382-1222. I hope this helps!

Received several calls from 866-800-0234 Global Tel Link asking us to accept charges from an inmate at Deleware County Jail (Muncie, IN).  We don't know anyone who would be in jail in Muncie and even if we did, it would not be a long distance call from there to our number. Seems like someone is trying to gain access to personal financial info in a rip off attempt.  Beware!

It is a scam! Block this number and they will call you from another. If you received a call from 3187461250 and blocked it then you will get called from another number and so on and so forth. If you enter a credit card number, debit card number or even accept the call then you are leaving yourself open for fraud, especially if you enter three digit CID code on your credit card. It is probably an organized criminal enterprize originating out of Jamaica, Nigeria or somewhere else SO BEWARE, do not become a victim.

scam scam scam i hate these people!

Message on voice mail was a recorded message. Said it was a collect call from an inmate in Deschutes County Jail in central Oregon.

It's a collect call from a jail or prison inmate.  If you answer, you have the option to accept, decline, or block the call.  Charges vary based on where you live.  Where I am, a 15 minute call costs $9.60.

I 've been receiving calls from this number from the last few days. The messages are in Spanish so I have no idea what they're saying.
