2 calls came in at 5:36 am CST & 5:38 am CST. Recorded message stated "Collect call from Williamson County Jail (IL)". I hung up because I had heard in the past about phone scams concerning supposed collect calls from jails which were bogus. I am reporting the call to Verizon's nuisance call department (1-800-257-2969). Anyone in Illinois who uses Verizon should do the same. The only way to STOP such scams is to REPORT IT!!!!
Left a message on the answering machine. Most of it was an operator telling you what to do. There was a voice at the end saying something that was hard to understand. It said it originated from Williamson County (TX) Jail.
Just got a call from this number. I let it go to voicemail 3 weeks ago, no message was left. I answered this time and upon saying "hello?" the caller promptly hung up. I live in Williamson Co, IL, but our area code is 618, not 217. 217 is Springfield/central IL if i recall correctly.
I received a phone call from this number at 6 today, this is in fact a central illinois area code. In the phone book it says champaigne. I don't know who it was who called I wasn't around to answer it.
