It's to add your number to an inmates calling list. But if you call it back, some nasty**** chat line has hijacked it. I have no idea how they did it, but they sure did..gotta love the system...smh. As much as GTL charges, you'd think they could afford to keep this number clear of a *** line.

This is NOT a collect call, its pre paid, i think that pcs from dallas, tx has the monopoly on this service for the whole country. Anyone in any ststr in county jail who wants to make a phone call thats NOT collect has to use this service. Answer the call, it takes a minute of listening to the automated recording before being connected to the inmate but u should accept the call. There is no charge and the person calling is using precious minutes and phone time to call YOU.

Mine said it was from Kern County California. Also received calls from prisons on another number. I have had to block both of them at the Verizon website. I have called back the referral number and they claim to take me off the list, but then 2 weeks later, it s****s a***n. There should be a tort lawsuit filed a***nst the company. There are millions of these calls made every week, I should think.

There really isn't a scam here, these are calls from a pre-paid system available to prisoners. They are NOT collect calls. If you don't know anyone in prison, there is an option (I forgot what it was) to block all future calls to your number from that facility.

I received a phone call from this number and said that I had accepted financial responsibility for an inmate.I do not know any inmate in jail/prison and will not be financially responsible for them either.
(972) 280-7286
This phone number appears to be from a San Diego County Jail from the recording but the phone number is from Dallas, Texas. This is impossible. When I first picked up the phone at 3:24am I heard a voice say "hold on" then the recording from the PCS Collect Call phone s****ed. It appears someone is trying to get you to accept the Collect Call on your dime so they can talk to the inmate. This would be a SCAM.
