Cook County correctional
All day today (at least 12 times, starting at 8 am, it's now almost 9 pm), we have been receiving erroneous collect calls from someone at the Cook County Correctional facility. The number being called is (312) 277-04xx which is not our main office number, but a roll-over number, thus the originating number is not picked up by our caller ID.
I don't even know who to contact. Perhaps the Cook County Information Center?

The same thing has been happening to me, only on my cell phone. If you find out who to contact, could you let me know? gildeddragon@hotmail.com

Whoa, that sucks. At least mine stopped after a day or so.

I have also been getting these calls. When you answer the phone, someone says this is an emergency call please press "0." I ignore the call and hang up because some time ago, I received an email stating that if you push "0" that opens your phone and allows the inmate to make a call anywhere in the nation at your expense.

From what I understand (and Snopes confirms), you don't have to worry about pressing 0.
Still annoying to get calls though.
