Received a collect call today from this # and it asked for a credit card # stating it was a collect call from my sons friend. It has my sons friend voice on it. I knew he was going to Texas so I thought something was wrong and input my cc # but the system said it was declined which it shouldn't been. Now I am afraid that was a big mistake. Called the number back and answering message that the call couldnt be completed.
Just as Hollywood J states above, the number is from a phone service that provides telephone service from prisons, throughout the country. An inmate, someone you know that has your number is trying to contact you.
OKAY LET ME CLEAR THIS UP.. I GOT A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER ALSO, FROM A CITY IN SOUTH TEXAS, ITS THE NUMBER THAT SEVERAL PAY PHONES CALL OUT FROM (ITS NOT THE NUMBER OF THE ACTUAL PAY PHONE, IT CALLS OUT AS ONE MAIN NUMBER, STATIONED IN DALLAS)!!!!!
Got this call from 214-969-5489 on Sat. Nov 10th at 1:50 pm. The area code is out of Texas in the Dallas Area, I did not get to it in time, but from the looks of it and all the other comments, this must be some telemarketer, or some credit card scam...
got a call 3-times saying my grandson was calling collect but they need a credit card number I was worried so i gave them my nuber I was lucky my CC company has this flagged and wouldnt accept it so I still dont no who was calling me I also called my phone company and they assured me you never need a credit card number to receive a collect cal think I was a scam target.
