It is a call from 1-830-865-3302 that is forwarded to local phones, usually cell phones throughout the USA.
It is originated from a City Jail and it is inmates calling on a scam on behalf of officer's association or any other telemarketing scam.
DO NOT GIVE YOUR INFO!
DO NOT CALL ANY NUMBER THEY GIVE TO YOU!
They will tell you to call *72 or some related asterisk and digit and then some telephone number for a credit of an erroneous charge.
What that does is make your phone forwarded to another phone so that other phone can make outgoing calls and you pay the bill.
Do what I did.
I wrote down the time and day of the call and filed a complaint with County Jail administrator, since they have audio records and can add more jail time for this scam. Alternately, tell them to f*** off and hang up
