If you get a collect call from Global Tel Link, do not answer as it is a SCAM!!! They want to you to dial *72 and activate your call forwarding to another number, so all your calls will be forwarded to a different number to somehow scam you and all the other people who call you. They will tell you one of your family members got arrested and you have to call "Detective Miller" to find out who it is. I can't believe I fell for this. I called "Detective Miller" and no one was there. Then I noticed my home phone started ringing half a ring for a few days... I Googled about "Global Tel Link" and find out it's a scam!!!!! If you fell for this *72 scam, deactivate the call forwarding by pressing *73 on your phone!!!! Call your telephone provider and demand a refund for the collect call and any other charges from this scam!!!!!!!!!!
GLOBAL TEL LINK ARE CROOKS
GTL is very legitimate. You probably need to remove this video before you get in trouble :(

@psyphr it's not legitimate - not very many people have my cell phone number at all, and no one i know who has my number would get arrested, almost ever. and if they did? i wouldn't be their call; i'm 23, don't have kids & no other family around here, my boyfriend's at work. i just got the call a couple minutes ago and looked the company up. and if it's someone at a station they wouldn't say "an inmate is trying to call you" because he or she wouldn't be an "inmate" yet.

Seriously?! Global Tel Link is the telephone service provider for many correctional facilities; it is a legitimate business (although they charge an arm and a leg for the service). Hopefully no one you know ever gets arrested....they'll rot in jail before you answer the phone!

To you, the uneducated person who wrote this. We are on the Do Not Call list. This is a company calling us for profit. They have been called and told not to call. They still call. They call dozens of times. One final not in my forty years on this planet I have had not had one family member or friend go to jail and anyone I knew who went to jail, deserved to go to jail.

Yes, it is a scam. We live in North Carolina and started getting 10-20 calls a day from Craven Correctional Facility in Texas. I am registered on the do not call list. I called them and told them to block the calls and they wanted my name and address for "security" reasons even though I am calling from the number they are spamming. Report that.

To all of short minded people out there ! Wait til your sons or daughters in jail from an accidental event then forward their calls to hell instead of your family. Stay away from trouble does not immune you from going to jail for other reasons. Stupid low life uneducated people always say they are better than everyone else while they know they are just another Jane and Joe in population.
