It's to add your number to an inmates calling list. But if you call it back, some nasty**** chat line has hijacked it. I have no idea how they did it, but they sure did..gotta love the system...smh. As much as GTL charges, you'd think they could afford to keep this number clear of a *** line.
(972) 280-7286 - April 4th, 2022 3:44am
An inmate wants to add you to their approved phone list. However, if you call the number back it's an inappropriate chat line soliciting men for women.

This is an inmate telephone service.. Calls can come from inmates nationwide. The company who provides the services is located in Texas. However, that does not mean the inmate is calling from texas. I recently received a call from an inmate in pennsylvania.

This is NOT a collect call, its pre paid, i think that pcs from dallas, tx has the monopoly on this service for the whole country. Anyone in any ststr in county jail who wants to make a phone call thats NOT collect has to use this service. Answer the call, it takes a minute of listening to the automated recording before being connected to the inmate but u should accept the call. There is no charge and the person calling is using precious minutes and phone time to call YOU.
(972) 280-7286 - April 4th, 2011 4:00am
******* says it is not a collect call --- the one i got was **** sure a collect call from a female -- i did not accept and ***g up immediately ! i am convinced that it is some sort of scam !! att or w***ver is responsible for this number should shut it down ! how many unsuspecting people accept these calls for no telling what the cost!!!!!!!! i am going to try to contact these people and raise***** !!!!!!!
(972) 280-7286 - February 25th, 2011 5:00am
This phone number appears to be from a San Diego County Jail from the recording but the phone number is from Dallas, Texas. This is impossible. When I first picked up the phone at 3:24am I heard a voice say "hold on" then the recording from the PCS Collect Call phone s****ed. It appears someone is trying to get you to accept the Collect Call on your dime so they can talk to the inmate. This would be a SCAM.
(972) 280-7286 - May 20th, 2011 4:00am
Mine said it was from Kern County California. Also received calls from prisons on another number. I have had to block both of them at the Verizon website. I have called back the referral number and they claim to take me off the list, but then 2 weeks later, it s****s a***n. There should be a tort lawsuit filed a***nst the company. There are millions of these calls made every week, I should think.
(972) 280-7286 - July 18th, 2011 4:00am

(972) 280-7286 - March 27th, 2011 4:00am
There really isn't a scam here, these are calls from a pre-paid system available to prisoners. They are NOT collect calls. If you don't know anyone in prison, there is an option (I forgot what it was) to block all future calls to your number from that facility.
(972) 280-7286 - June 16th, 2011 4:00am
This is just an inmate calling on a pre paid calling card in some cases i think they just dial the wrong number if you accept the call YOU do not get charged the inmate is simply calling you on a calling card there is no SCAM here!!!
(972) 280-7286 - June 9th, 2011 4:00am
