It is really the jail I have someone who calls everyday from there. I know who they are and talk to them so I know. If you are getting a call from there probably someone you know has been arrested and is trying to get ahold of a loved one. It is not a scam and "Jah Irie Rasta" is exactly correct.
Well, I just had my phone service transferred from AT&T to my cable provider. Unlimited long distance and no collect calls. The day that transfer took place, I started getting these calls. Seems very fishy to me.
i got this call last night while i was shopping with a friend...my boyfriend was recently arrested and i had no idea what this number was so i answered well it started talking about some global crap so i hung up. well it called back again so i decided to listen to the whole thing well it was a call from volusia county jail from an inmate (my boyfriend)! well it was saying how i had to set up a prepaid account with a debit or credit card....well i certainly don't have one! so i couldn't talk to him. why can't an inmate just call and talk to a loved on without them having to pay! its stupid.
I just got the call from my boyfriend and it's from the jail just press 0 and whoever wants to speek with will be able to.Stop thinkin its telamarketers. But 1 thing I don't understand is that somehow I had 8.99 in my account but I havnt set it yet. The smart ones that understand me does this mean I will be billed???
These [***] have driven me crazy with their calls. They call leave a message for me to open my line or pay $25 advance enabling some from the jail call me. To hell with the [***] whoever he/she might be, I have no one in Volusia county Florida. Why there is no control on these types of intrusions.
