This automated message calls in the dead of night & leaves a message about an inmate trying to make a collect call to my number.
I don't know any inmates, the number is registered in the United Kingdom & I'm not falling for this scam.
BE WARNED! -
It is not a scam. The caller alerts you to tell you that an inmate from a correctional facility has tried to make a collect call to your phone. If you want to receive the call then you need to set up an account and provide a credit card. If you do not want to receive a call from an inmate then don't set up an account. It is more of a courtesy call than anything else.

I received a phone call from this number today. My neighbor had been arrested. It's a way for them to make collect calls. I actually picked up the phone.

Has called several times in the last two days. The voicemails left are saying that an inmate is trying to reach me and that I cannot be billed for the call, yet it asks me to set up an account and provide funds from a credit card when I call the number back it called from a 513 or 531 area code the first time.
Most people will probably fall for this if they know someone who gets in trouble a lot, however, the process to get put on a list to be called by an inmate is not like this and the inmate has to fund the calls.
Very suspicious, but nice try!! -
After someone attempted to make a collect call to my work phone at 7:25 PM from 714-955-4800, I got a message from this number at 8:53 PM saying someone from a "correctional facility" was trying to call me collect, and I would need to set up billing information in order to get the calls! As if! They even said I could call this number back, or go to www.connectnetwork.com to set up an account. I HOPE NO ONE IS DUMB ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!! If someone you love ends up in prison, you would not get a call asking for your billing information! What a joke.

I agree, this is a scam.
-
same # keeps calling saying it's from a correctional facility. I looked up on internet - says it's a SCAM to get your personal or financial info. DO NOT PICK UP AND DO NOT CALL BACK.
-
The accent was so strong that I couldn't understand them so I figured it was a foriegn scam.

Someone tried to contact me via collect call from a prison. I obviously have neither friends nor relatives in prison so whats the matteeeeeer?
If this phone number keeps calling you, the answer should be yes!

2 missed calls in 2days...caller ID said Tel*link which I know to be related to Global Tel-link. If redialed the # goes to an automated service to set up an account. So I instead called GTL customer service, they were able to tell me which correctional facility had called me and after a game of inmate locator guess who? ....my old friend is housed there and has been trying to reach me. NOT SPAM...just requires a bit of detective work.
