800-844-6591

Got a call that says someone from this correctional facility is trying to reach you...please call this number 800-844-6591 to set up an account.

Got this phone call, called it back and entered my phone number, then it asked for a password and I hung up. Does anyone know who or what this is?

The phone number belongs to Correctional Billing Services.  It is not a scam.  It is a service where the owner of a telephone can deposit money into an account as a way to keep an inmate from calling more than you are willing to pay for.  Once the accont is empty, phone calls from the jail will not be able to go through.

Got a call from a correctional facility saying they needed me to call 800-844-6591.  Nothing came up on called ID.  5-24-08

called 3 times and said it was a call from an inmate at the clark county detention center....i did not stay on the line. I hung up immediately but they still keep calling....aargh!!!!! june 20th 2008 las vegas nevada

why was my check not cleared

Call from Portage Co Jail--name unintelligible told to go to 800-844-6591 to post bail.  Passed it on to local Police, next call to Feds.

How can I know who the inmate was that called?

Constant calls from 800-844-6591.  I do not answer but they call all hours and all day everyday

This company sets up a service so inmates can call people.  The company is legit and if you call them they will block your line so you don't get any call.  Unfortunately the company can not tell you who the inmate is that's been calling.  But they will block calls.

I am receiving numerous collect calls from someone named Natalie calling from Travis County Correctional facility - the number on the caller id is 800 844-6591. Each time I hung up.

In the middle of these calls, at 12:51 PM I received a call from 512 879-5899 - the caller id also read Travis County - a woman asked for Kevin - I said she had the wrong number - she asked if she had reached 201 xxx-xxxx - I said yes but she had the wrong number - she hung up. How can I make sure that my affirmative response is not used as authorization for fraudulent charges to be billed to me?

It's Correctional Billing Services.  It's a service for people in jail or prison to talk on phone to people that are not in jail.  I don't know anyone in jail or prison.  They were calling every day leaving messages in my voice box.  I tried to get them to stop the calls.  It ended up being easier to just change my phone number!

enoughallready: you changed your number because you were too stupid to call Correctional Billing Services on the number you had and have them block the calls?

Started getting calls from 8008446591 this morning, several calls so far will take advice and get the number blocked.

DIDN'T ANSWER, VOICE MAIL SAID INMATE (SPOKE THEIR NAME, DON'T KNOW THEM) WAS TRYING TO REACH ME, SEEMS TO BE LEGITIMATE COLLECT CALL FROM JAIL, WRONG NUMBER MAYBE?

Today we've received about 8 calls from "866-737-3868" and caller ID says "Not Provided" but when you answer it says it's from Marion County Jail. No matter what menu selection you choose (accept/don't accept/block/find out who's calling you ... etc) it then states the charges will be $4.++. When we called the number back we were referred to 800-844-6591 for Correctional Billing ~ and all of their menus keep you going in a loop.  We finally spoke with someone who gave us a number to call to find out the ID of the inmate that had been calling, supposedly from Marion County Indiana, but that number (317-231-8378) is a non-working number!! Tried many different numbers to get to the bottom of this and finally had to give our name/number to get our number 'blocked'.  After stull getting calls, a followup call to them got us a different person who said we should NOT have been required to provide our name!! This person then just asked for our number and since then the calls have stopped ~ so far.  Our phone company is centurytel and they told us they can't block any charges that may appear on our bill due to these calls, that would have to be handled by the Correctional Billing company ~ what a fiasco!!  These automated systems aren't fool proof, as we learned by researching on the net, and they should be banned.  BTW, when we refused to answer these calls, they just kept coming, clogging up our voicemail!! I suggest calling the billing outfit and spending the time to find a real person but insist on not having to provide your name when blocking your number.

On Tue Sept 14. 2010 I started getting calls to my cell phone from 8008446591.  I did not answer, but I called them back on my land line, and they answered as Fusion Rewards.  They wanted to send me a Visa card. I told them I did not want one, and to take my number off their list and the guy hung up on me. I tried this a 2nd time and got a girl, and she hung up on me too. I have reported this each time to the national donotcall hotline.  Today when they called, they hung up when I answered.  So I called the number and the machine said correctional billing services, and wanted me to put in the above number. When I did that, the machine said it was not a working no.  Something fishy is going on here

We received one call from 866-941-6003 at 12:35 in the morning.  We received another from 800-844-6591 this morning around 8:45.  The messages were garbled and the voice response system stated that we would be asked to set up an account at the end of the call.  We of course, did not answer or respond.  How do we get them to stop?

This is some type of scam to get money from people.  Th caller alleges that he is your grandson and then tries to get you to put up money for them at some correctional institution.  Don't give them any money, just hang up and report the number.

getting calls from the same number. I also dont know anyone in prison and I am in Canada. The correction facility in the message is in the United states. Its funny how they have my cell phone number???? maybe got it from facebook or something? Seems like a scam to me.
