received a phone call from that number today. operator said it was a collect call from an inmate. I hung up immediately

Fulton County Jail (Georgia) payphone call. This is a SCAM. DO NOT follow instructions. If you do you will be putting call forwarding from your phone to their payphone and you will be stuck with very large phone bills.

THIS IS NOT A SCAM. It's an inmate at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta GA trying to reach their loved one. You shouldn't except the call unless you recognize the recorded persons name on the name announcement. The call is $2.60 per call (if you are local), if you do.

And, if you accept one by accident you will have to call "Correctional Billing" to get the charges reversed. Hope this helps :0)

This phone number is a payphone at the Fulton County Jail. The inmates are picking numbers at random trying to get people to accept their call and then call someone for them by hitting 72# and a number. If you do this, it forwards your phone service so that this inmate can charge phone calls to your phone. Best bet is to not accept the call. Have your number blocked by calling (404) 613-2049. Officer Oliver over Security will block your number.

Received two calls from this number.  I don't want to accept any calls, as I don't know who is calling.

thank for the info.

Trying to find out the exact facility call is coming from.

My boyfriend is in fulton county jail now and he has my cell number. i had to research to find out what number this is as i called it back and it did say that number is not in service. should i still answer it because now i know who is the one doing the calling?

You were right on sir. Thanks.

It's an inmate at Fulton County, which the message clearly states. It isn't a scam. Good lord what is wrong with you people.

We have had several citizens call and have this happen to them. Forwarding their calls.  DO NOT Do as they ask you to do!!! It is a SCAM!

got this same call today, I had heard of this scam on clark howard. the number call was placed from is a payphone 404 942 0300

Having received a phone call from an inmate at the Fulton County Jail within the past year or so, I can honestly say from firsthand experience that the NAME of the inmate is clearly identified with those types of calls, and it's usually stated BY the inmate. Nearly identical to a standard "state your name at the beep" collect call, actually.

It's not some sort of vague/nameless canned recording, like this scam is doing. Fulton County specifically tells you who is calling.

I have received a call from this number several times tonight.  I didn't answer and when I tried to call to see who it was, it said it was disconnected.  Duh. Glad I looked at this site!  My son has called me from jail a couple of times and my heart always drops when I don't recognize and number and they don't leave a message.  Whew

It's from an inmate still in intake, which I think is why they aren't allowed to leave a message? My guy has just been transferred to Fulton County and hasn't gone into the dorms yet, and he's called me twice from the number. So this IS a legit Fulton County number. Perhaps they don't allow the message prompt to prevent communication without accepting the phone call.

who call me from this number?
