8004838314

I received a call from this number saying that an offender at a correctional facility tried to place a collect call, but the call could not be completed due to billing restrictions. If I want to receive these calls, I need to call them back at this number.

I am on the Do Not Call Registry but i still get a call from 800-483-8314

I wanted to know who was calling me from this number

I don't know people who go to jail and the number keeps calling me

I have a new phone and last night at 930 I got a call but I missed it, thinking it might be important I called back and the first thing the auto voice said was "to put money in your account press one" the minute I heard that I knew it was a BS scam so I talked to the manager and they swore the put me on the no call list and this morning I got a call from the same # at 6am and every hour afterwards til I blocked them thru my cell. They will not talk u off the DNC list so u have to find a way to block the calls yourself.

Thank you, My nephew is in prison and every time with in hours I get this call.. Never linked the two.

These calls are a trap. They call people in hopes that one would think that someone in jail is really trying to get a hold of them. They then are instructed to place money on a prepaid card that is fake--this results in them stealing your money.

Some automated voice message thing told me a prisoner was trying to contact me from wwhatever prison. Every one I know in prison is in a known location with a scheduled phone call date syatem. So no. This is definitely a scam.

Got the  same collect call on my Magic Jack # from a penitentiary.  Only one person knows that # and she is in Canada.

Who is this

This number has called me numerous times and it is a scam.

1) Last I checked there are no cell phones out there that you can screen calls by letting them go to voicemail then pick up while message being left. 2) do not call list only applies to sales calls 3) telling ppl what to do is a bit over the edge. people can pick up known or unknown calls all they want. 4) ignoring calls won't make it stop. You gotta pick it up and tell them wrong number or to remove you from being called. Thats how you get results. If you still get calls after 4 days of telling them to stop, the next resort is to put it in writing. 5) The beauty of having a prepaid unlimited cell plan is someone can try to bill collect or toll calls all they want and there is no way you can get charged 6) In fact if you listen to the recording they are telling you in order to accept the jail-bird's phone call you have to set up a prepaid account by providing a cc with minimum deposit of $25. They will not bill your cell phone. Thats impossible. Not to mention its illegal to arbitrarily bill you just for calling the 800#. 7) my advice for you is just turn yourself in and you will get brownie points.

Got a call from this number on my cell phone, they didn't leave a message, I thought it was the gas co calling me back with an appt. time, I called the number back and I couldn't understand ANYTHING, every other word was garbled.  It said something about money that I owe and to press 1 to pay it, I hung up.  I really hope I'm not going to get some outrageous charges on my bill, should I call my phone carrier?

It's from Global Tel Link - a Jail call service. I guess if you want to talk to someone who is in jail their service may be worth the $
I never answer calls from someone I do not know. I let my Call App tell me who it is and I follow it up with a Google Search to verify.

If you all are getting calls on your cells from this number, unless you know someone in jail or have had your # a very long time ... it is most likely an inmate in a correctional facility trying to call someone that had the number before you.  I have a son incarcerated and get the calls from time to time, because he keeps hoping Mom will be able to set up the plan to allow him to call me.  It isn't a hoax or a scam.  Most cell plans have the option to block calls, just block the # if you don't know someone who is in jail.

i keep getting a call saying add money i have money on my account dont know whats going on ,please help .

I also got a call from this # on my brand new out of the box phone :(

This is someone trying to place a collect call from jail.  Sometimes it comes through as collect then sometimes this company wants you to pre-pay for the calls.  You can call them and block your number from receiving calls from jail.  You may want to check first and make sure a friend or family member didn't get into some unexpected trouble (or maybe arrested by innocent) and you may be the only phone number they recall while trying to reach out for help.

Do Not Call registry won't help - someone in jail is actually calling you - but if you call this company back there is a way to block inbound calls from the jail.  They are helping facilitate wanted calls, not unwanted.

I received two calls today from GTL with 2 different numbers on my cell phone. I am also on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY.     I am not aware of any relatives or friends in prison.  I will definitely file a complaint as Noone stated above.
Phone Numbers that called were: 321-252-1430 and 1-800-483-8314 between 3 and 3:30pm. I will be blocking these numbers on my cell phone hoping these calls will not return.

Several calls a week..sometimes daily. Never answered by me, no message left...
