Calls from prison Anyone else get these random collect calls from prisoners? I never had any until we moved into our house, and I've had three since. I never accept the charges, obviously, but WTF?!

When I got thrown in the slammer for fighting in my younger idiotic days, my DAD would not answer the phone because of the, "you have a collect call from a Harris county inmate" preface message.... It might have been a friend asking to be bailed out...or a scam that may work.

Chances are pretty good its a scam. Our house number is pretty easy to make up of the top of your head, so we get them from time to time. My buddy goes to college in Fla and he got one on his cell phone from travis county jail a few weeks ago. He didnt answer, but called me to make sure nobody we know in Austin was in jail lol.
Basically I wouldnt answer them if I were you.

It's most definitely a scam. Do a search on the internet and you'll find something about it.
