866-230-7761 / 8662307761

I've been receiving a lot of calls on my voicemail from this number. The automated recording informs me that an inmate from Twin Towers Correctional Facility is trying to contact me and that I should call the above number. I checked online first and I'm glad I did. Thank you all for reporting this scam!

I just got a frudulent charge on my CC from GLOBAL TEL LINK 866-230-7761 AL for $50.I never did business with them.

The number showed up as 866-478-8897 800 Servicebut the message was for 866-230-7761 and said an inmate was calling me from Global Tell Link. Glad I checked here...I will block both numbers

Received calls 2 days now/ one from Sedwich county detention center/ & one from Las Junos correction facility.. both said to get collect call I must pay by card, check etc. . I checked around with family & friend & every one I am in immediate contact with is fine................. Did not accept any CHARGES......I FIGURE IT IS A SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Los Angeles County Jail

Shamica Mc Core??? I think it's yet another Nigerian scam!

Hey I recieved a call from Globel Tell as well but i never recieved a call from the numbers that you guys have mentioned the number i recieved it from was 1866-770-4896 and when i called back to set up to my home bill i spoke to a person not any recordings my brother and my husband is in jail and thats the reason for us getting the Global tell i think the best option for everyone recieving these calls are to call the 1866 number and speak to someone there about the issue you are having i also have a second number and it is 1800-231-0193 i hope this helps anyone.

SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE, RECEIVED THIS CALL TODAY FROM 18664788892, PLEASE CALL 18662307761.. BUT WHAT I DID WAS GOOGLE THE 2ND NUMBER AND CAME HERE...I NEVER GIVE OUT CREDIT CARD/CHECKING ACCOUNT INFORMATION...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PHONE...I FIGURED IT WAS A SCAM BECAUSE MY HUSBAND USES HIS 10 FREE MINUTES TO CALL ME...HE USES THE HOUSE PHONE FOR COLLECT CALLS..WHEN THE COLLECT CALLS ARE USED UP..THEY ARE JUST THAT..USED UP!!! I HAVE TOO MANY BILLS AS IS, I CAN'T AFFORD TO PLAY WITH THESE DAMN SCAM ARTISTS.. THANK GOD HE HAS 30 DAYS TO GO!! IF HE DID NOT, WE WOULD BE FINE WITH FREE 10 MINUTES HE GETS..THAT US TAX PAYERS ARE PAYING FOR ANYWAY!!

Rcvd call on answering machine indicating they were from the Shelby County jail, and that my brother "tim" was calling collect. It was his voice on the answering machine. They must have gotten his voice mail or his cell phone to get his name off of the phone. They asked us to give a mastercard or visa # so that he could make a call as they wouldn't let him make any more calls on their dime. I looked up the # and found the scam.

I got a call from this number. It was from the Orange County (CA) Central Jail Complex. I live in Texas, and don't know anyone in CA. I think there is a scam angle to this. I inherited a car from CA, and had to register it before transferring it to TX. A scammer gets the DMV information, and now has my phone number and a local "connection", then has a prisoner from a local prison place a call. The initial GTL link is therefore legitimate, and if you gave them your info on the first call you are probably setting up a legitimate account with a real company providing prison communications. However, most people will not set up an account with GTL on the first call, so the scammer calls you back from an unavailable number posing as GTL to remind you that prisoner is calling, and offers to set up the account at that time. The follow-up calls are the scam, so do NOT give them your info. It makes sense to me, and this is probably a multi-prison, multi-state scam which mines information from the DMV public records and uses GTL as a stalking horse.
