Annoying phone calls

[LisaL]

I have been getting many collect phone calls from inmates in correctional facility. I don't know any inmates in any correctional facilities. But today I got at least 6 of those calls. I looked through my phone manual but there is no instructions on how to block the calls. Inmates also seem to be using different pay phones. What do I do other than throwing my phone out window?

1. Start by reporting this to your phone company.

2. Can it block calls?

4. They might tell you how to block.

You don't need to put up with calls like that.

6. Add to this apparently inmates have developed

a "call forwarding" phone scam. Or so the collect call message tells me.

3. Can you tell what correctional facility they come from?

I'd start with a call to there first.

5. Yea the phone message informs me what correctional facility

the calls come from. If it continues I will call the facility and ask them to block these calls.

That end up in jail, and write your number on the wall. :)

Just joking, it might be some lawyer or something has a number close to yours or something. You might accept one of the calls, and ask where they got your number.

8. Ask them for a cell-block on these numbers n/t

9. I would contact your local police, they can hopefully contact the prison

and put an end to this
