3Gcollect scam
I received a collect call April 16, 2020 in which all inmates are subject to 2 free collect calls due to corona virus pandemic. I connected to my daughter's dad 27 seconds and the call dropped. Immediately after I received a text message stating I owed 15.99 plus tax for call. I called the facility and they weren't able to help. I contacted this 3G by email for a representative to call me regarding my charges, an automated payment line called me. I resent another email saying I asked for a real person to call me, not an automated line. They stated e mail was their only form of contact. So I explained to them my call was only 27 seconds and I would like to have my balance credited back to me since I was not able to speak to anyone. They reduced my bill to like 5.00 but I still refuse. I reminded them that inmates were subject to 2 free calls per week due to the corona outbreak. He has called me several times collect now and I haven't been charged, except for the very first, one time call of only 27 seconds. They told me they were not affiliated with the unit I received the call from and weren't aware of any free calls for inmates. This company is a SCAM!! They are not BBB certified. I refuse to put my credit card info in their website. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM

charges
Stop calling me to collect $23.75 for a local call. I accepted a call from my son, to let me know he was on his way home. Have no idea how your company got involved with a local call. STOP HARASSING ME!!

Received collect call from wrong number
I received a collect call by mistake. Now I’m being billed $22.00!!! I’ve tried calling and the only customer service number I’ve found online is no more than a constant solicitation for services and asking to answe 1-yes and 2- no. By the time you go through about 20 solicitations it just says thank you bye!! I need to talk to someone personally.

Collect Call
I received a Collect Call from My son, thinking something was wrong, emergency, I accepted. there is no block on my cell phone to collect calls. I spoke for less than 3 minutes. immediately thereafter I received a text on my phone for 21.75. I am not paying. this is a SCAM PEOPLE don't fall for it. This is not how you do business. I am reporting to BBB. every time they text its from a different number, you cant speak to anyone.

constant text messages from 3Gcollect
My son called me collect on Christmas. The next day I received several reminders from 3Gcollect via text messages. The second day I received even more. is this REALLY how they do business? via text bombs? no bill? What kind of business is this? Seems fishy and unprofessional.

long distance scam/feud
I accepted a local long distance call on my cell ph over a month ago; 3G Collect advised me that my service provider blocked collect calls to my landline and cell ph; the incoming call was extremely urgent and I had to accept it; $21; I live in Brampton the call was coming from Guelph; the next day I called my service provider; there was no block to my landline or cell both are open to collect calls; now bi-weekly i get calls from 3G Collect requesting payment; it will never happen not paying $21 for a local long distance call; their reference 755608

long distance scam/feud
At 9:48 pm i was woken to a phone call stating i had a collect call from...some name i could not understand..and thinking it was a family member or friend in trouble i accepted, the girl on the other line asked me who i was, I said my name and asked who it was, she then replied I think I have the wrong number and hung up. Shortly after I received a text informing me that 15.99 was due for my call and to send my payment to the P.O. Box 150 Cross River NY 10518. I am furious. So the next day I receive another text. and the next except this one stated that I accepted the call and to prevent interruption of services, and bad credit reporting i must pay now. well I dont think so! First off all they can try to lie to someone else that is more gulliable. And second I am a private investigator and Im smart enough to know a scam when I see it. Dont fall for this SCAM!
