Description
I received a call and a robotic voice informed me it was a collect call from a county jail in South Carolina, but the beginning of the recorded message cut off which county jail. The call was claimed to have been placed through Inmate Sales. The robotic caller never identified the name of the "inmate" trying to contact me, but I have several reasons to believe it's a scam. 1) I don't know anyone in jail 2) I don't know anyone in South Carolina 3) this call was received after midnight, long after jails would have stopped allowing inmates to make phone calls.
