I'm not getting calls however someone is making charges against my debit card for 50.00 first then a second one two minutes later for 248.28 to Comcast in TN. watch your phone bill charges and bank accounts closely.

Watch your bank accounts, I got a charge on my debt card from this company for 50.00 then a second one for 248.28. They are getting your bank account numbers from your phone bill and make withdrawals.

Do you know the num for someone to put money on there

calling a buisness  850784 6806 saying obscene word

How do you know her son is a dirt bag get a life and stop judging people j*** off!

Same thing just happened to my girlfriend, did you get your money back?

it seems you are needing counseling really bad

Telling me I have a western union bill from offenders. I am not talking to anyone in prison! I also am on the do not call list so they are breaking the law!
SCAMMERS!

I have been hasseled by GlobalTel for over a week--supposed calls from the local county jail and an 800 number also from a correctional facility. I finally had to call my local sherriff office for the 877-650-4249 number which gave me a run around till I informed them I was going to contact someone in authority to stop this harassment. Then was asked if I wanted to 'block' these type of call--which they supposedly did. This is BS. Some body is scamming people and the FCC needs to put a stop to this crap!

I never actually received a call from this number. Instead, this phone number appeared on my visa credit card bill as a part of the description for charges fraudulently made to my account. The exact description was "GTL*INMATE PHONE SVC 877-650-4249 AL". My CC company saw the unusual activity and called me to inquire. There were several $50 charges made. I'm not sure how, when. or who got my CC info. I never lost possession of the actual card.

I keep getting calls from this number, telling me I have a collect call from an inmate. I immediately hang up, but the calls keep coming. I didn't  even understand how the calls were getting through, since my phone is a prepaid phone. Finally, tonight I had had enough and tried 5 times before I got through. I finally spoke with a very nice representative, her name was Sienna and she assured me the calls would stop within 24 hours. Only problem is if they call from another jail or the jail changes phone providers, I will have to go through this whole process again. Thanks, Sienna!! I sure hope this works !

Gets better.  This number showed up on my CC Bill as an INMATE Collect Call.  Two charges for $25 and one for $75.

To bad dirtbags like your son ruin the rest of our lives in the hug a thug country we live in....

BEWARE!!! THIS IS PART OF AN INMATE CALL SERVICE SCAM. Friends & family of inmates are stealing credit card information and using it on Global Tel* Link's automated system to pay for inmate phone privileges....with your stolen money!
Received a call from my bank stating that several charges had been made to my account. The number referenced was 877-650-4249 Global Tel* Link. Called this number to find out that someone had used my card on their automated phone system (which by the way only requires your card information; no billing name or address, etc.) to pay for several changes to an "offender phone account". When I wanted to know where the heck MY stolen money went to, that they processed, Josh stated that I was "the one making this difficult". My money is stolen because of the services this company provides and when I am upset because they took my money but can't tell me where it went I am the one making things difficult! Seriously! Well then again Global Tel* Link is the one providing an (easy scam) system to criminals! In speaking with the next rep I asked to what number the payments were made to and was told that due to "privacy" reasons they are not allowed to release this information without a court ordered supena. So, MY money is stolen through their business which helps provide calling privileges to CRIMINALS and yet telling me which inmates (i've apparently provided phone privileges for) is a privacy matter!! And though they stated that they DO have the information in which would provide details on locating these dirt bags (which apparently is not the inmate but a friend or "loved-one" using my money) they are unable to tell me where my stolen money has gone. They won't even provide a state in which I can begin to look into this.  

The Customer Service people are SO rude. No help at all and very nasty attitude.

Cuando tengas alguna persona querida en una carcel, nunca utilices este servicio, si tu autorizas un monto  pero ellos cargan doble en tu tarjeta, incluso despues que ya salio en libertad el detenido,  continuaron cargandome el servicio sin tener autorizacion,esto siguio hasta que tuve que cancelar mi tarjeta de credito, realmente la compañia GTL es una mafia lista a asaltar.  Existen otros servicios mucho mas baratos al que se puede acceder.

ESTA COMPAñIA ES UNA LADRONA.TE COBRAN Y RECORTAN LAS LLAMADAS COMO A ELLOS LES GUSTE.LA CORTAN PORQUE DICEN QUE UNO ESTA EN TRES LINEAS A LA VEZ O TE REBAJAN EL BALANCE DE 20 DOLARES A 8.ADEMAS NO ACEPTAN RECLAMOS POR TELEFONO.HAY QUE MANDAR UN CORREO ESCRITO A UN LUGAR QUE SEGURO NUNCA TE RESPONDERAN.SON DE LO PEOR.ELLOS DEBERIAN IR PRESOS.SUPONGO QUE DETRAS HAY UNOS DUEñOS MUY RELACIONADOS CON LA POLITICA DE METER LA MANO EN EL BOLSILLO SIN PERMISO.JAMAS SE ENGANCHEN CON ELLOS.ELLOS NO ME LLAMAN A MI PERO YO LOS CONTRATE PARA HABLAR CON MI HIJO PRESO.

I didnt get a call from this number but my credit card was somehow stolen by this agency.  My bank contacted me and that 800 number was on the attempted charge.  I have no idea how they got my information.  The charge was declined because they had the incorrect expiration date and 3 digit security code.

This has being on for a week and it goes straight to my voicemail and I can never block the number. Its really pissing me off and these a***oles need to knock it off! Sick of this s***. Stupid Americans trying to rip ppl off, its not my fault your in jail cuz your Stupid citizen!

They're not "hispanic" msgs... There from gtl... !

While everyone is getting calls.  I CAN!! My loved one has been trying to call home for 7 weeks and is still not able to!!! I have talked to this company 18 time in 7 wks and EVERYTIME I call its something different!  I have done all that they have asked and still NOTHING!!! THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY EVER!!!

This number keeps calling and asking for personal informationwhich I don't give and then they hang up!!!

Global tell link is a phone service for people who r in a county jail or a state prison. If an inmate is trying to call u whether it b county jail or state prison.  .  U will first hear a recording letting u know someone from a county jail or prison is trying to reach u. Most of the tine the first 45 seconds r green the call will automatically hang up n ask if u want to set up a plan o block all calls. Maybe for some of you that have teenage kids male or female,well maybe it can be a Friend of theirs. Global tell link doesn't just automatically call random phones.

I called 877-650-4249 to have my number blocked. I waited on hold for 4 minutes before "Deanna" took my cal.. She was most helpful in putting the block in place.
I guess I'll wait to see if I receive any more attempts.

I want the collect calls from prison to stop

The first thing I did was call my Verizon "Unlawful Call Center" and asked some questions.  Yes, as stated above, the 877-650-4249 number is a valid toll free number for Global Tel-Link.  My biggest concern is that since I first pressed the number "7", that would be appended on the front of the other number as an outgoing call.  For those of you who don't know about these 700/900/976 area code numbers, they are a cost-per-call number typically used by road reports, dial-a-joke, horoscopes, stock market reports, ski conditions, etc.  The Verizon representative said that me dialing the "7" did not put me through to a 7XX

Global Tel-Link is a service provider for prisoners to be able to call their family and friends without using collect calls or cell phone providers.  the prisoners can call any number they want but if you don't accept the call, your phone is not billed.

I called the Global Tel-Link 877-650-4249 number and waited to talk to a representative.  I informed her that I wanted my phone number blocked from calls originating from the prison system and she told me it would take effect within 24 hours.  I guess I will wait and see what happens.  I expect this block will only apply to called made through Global Tel-Link.  If there is another service provider for other prison systems, then I would have to do this again for that other provider.

I asked if she could tell me the name of who originated the call and she couldn't, but she could tell me which prison/jail originated the call.  In my case, it was from the Pitchess county jail in Los Angeles, CA.  It blocking my phone number does not work, I suppose I can try to contact the jail directly to see if I can get this harrassment to stop.  Hope this works.  

I suggest you call Global Tel-Link if you get similar unwanted calls from prisoners and wait to speak to a representative to get your number blocked.  Seemed staight forward to me, but a pain in the butt.

we have been receiving calls all day & we are a business with 2 different numbers off by a few digits out of our home. when it says we have a collect call from & the person states the name - the name is unrecognizable to us & static. I tried hitting 7 to block the calls & was given the 877 number to call. I called from a BLOCKED private line & when I didn't choose an option out of the 4 options I hung up. As soon as I hung up, I got a call on that blocked number for a collect call.
Absolutely no one we know is in jail & even if they were they wouldn't call us on a business line. The channel 4 news stated that this was a scam the other night. When I did wait the 40 minutes on hold for the next available operator I told her what happened & she told me rudely that I obviously have to know someone in Los Angeles County Jail otherwise how would the inmate know our numbers. There are 3 of us in this office today. When all 3 lines lit up with calls all at the same time from the exact same name I asked her how that was even possible? She said she didn't know. I informed her that I knew this was a scam. She denied it - so I asked for which lock up it was from - she said Men's Central Jail L.A. County - I said Oh good. I'll just call my cousin direct since he's LAPD & on duty today at the Jail. (which is true) or his dad who is a Detective @ the L.A.P.D. (also true) or my other family members who are all officers or detectives. I informed her that I was going to be calling the FCC & report them for harassment. She said go ahead & hung up on me.  SCAM!!!!!!!

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?  We are also getting these calls in the early morning.  Why do these phone companies keep getting away with this crap?

Hispanic message?  Cant understand if you are here legally? WTH? You deserve to be harrassed with these calls for being ignorant!  Get a book and learn, instead of being online and displaying your ignorance to the world.

keep getting calls from prison inmate,,,I keep hanging up, blocking and also trying to get ahold of someone at 877-650-4249 only to get nothing. My gosh I have a family,,dont have time for this BS!!!!
