someone will answer, believe me lol. Inmates in Missouri have unfetttered access to phones in some prisons during the daytime. You would be suprised the amount of money sent to their "canteen" funds from as far away as Australia

Probably a *72 scam, some phone's (though limited in population anymore) if you answer and are asked to dial *72 it will give away your phone number and allow someone to make collect calls with your number, effectively raising your typical bill of 50 odd dollars to somewhere around a grand.

The phones that the scam works on aren't made anymore and for the most part have been taken out of circulation, it is rare that you have that kind of phone...but to be on the safe side contact your telephone provider about it.flowerforyou
