What is it?
It also happened to me from GTL InMate. they charged $50 4 times and I have called by bank. they have cancelled card and doing investigations. This is fraud. this company should be blocked.
This company charged $45 and refunded it instantly to my debit card. Refunding it caused it to fall off the bank statement so if you weren't actively looking at your bank account you wouldn't see the charge. I locked my card so no further transactions could take place and called my bank. Unfortunately, no actions could be taken against this company due to the fact that they refunded it but the bank said this is fraud and advised to reissue a card. This is a way to probe the account to see if it is an active working account number the fraud agent said. This is not the first time we have seen a charge from this company on our bank statement and I am sure it won't be the last. It is undetermined how the card number was obtained since we have been mostly home. Luckily, I already monitor my account on a daily basis so I will just be more alert after this.
Same thing happened to me I got a charge for $30 then $50. Then a deposit for the $50 back into my bank account. Had to go to the bank and get a new card, initially the bank said that since the put the $50 back that I shouldn't be worried. I asked what about the $30 they stole. It didn't show on their computer. Lucky I should them on my mobile banck app. I assume that if they deposit some money back it tricks the fraud alert. All transactions happen the same day.
These charges just showed up on my grandparents bank app. We do not know any inmates or provide any phone services for anyone. We don’t even live in that state! Fraud fraud fraud. Luckily I found this thread and had them call the bank and request new cards. What a shame. The charges $50 and it said the same as all the comments listed. Called the 877 number of course no help. Not sure how they got the number as my grandparents only use their card at Walmart. Saw other comments about using a card at Walmart. Maybe Walmart isn’t as secure as they think with their debit card machines!!!
I did not send my dad$20 but for some reason my account was charged $23.65 and nobody else has my account information But me and my Fiancé and he wouldn't do something so childish knowing WE HAVE BILLS TO PAY! This is ridiculous man why isn't this company shut down yet!!
Checking my online checking account for Citizens Bank and noticed 3 pending charges from 'Inmate Payment's for 56.70 and never authorized charges or knew what they were for. No idea how got my card number. Called online banking support to dispute charges and have removed. Before being removed they posted and Googled the number to find this link. Amazed it's been going on since at least 2017 from posts. Now have to get card replaced.
Two fraudulent charges for $50/ea to my card today (7/17). Contacted Wells Fargo to report, had my card cancelled. Charges came from GTL*INMATE PHONE SVC 877-650-4249. Not sure how they got my card number...
INMATE PHONE SVC 877-650-4249 There still at it. I do know an inmate and send him 40 when I can. The charge is on my bill. Then 2 days later there is a 42$ charge saying it is GTL INMATE PHONE SERVICE !! I just had to get a new card From my bank. Dang it. Now I can’t just keep getting new card after new card.
THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM !!!! they steal your Credit Card number and then randomly put an amount on your credit card hoping you will Not notice the charge. DO NOT call the 877 number, this company is terrible. CALL your credit card to tell them of the FRAUD .
Saturday morning, I cheked my balance. There an unauthorized charges on my debit card ending in 8013, for $99.00 and another one for $12.00. This is not my doing, I don't know anyone that's an inmate, unless the friend that came by to visit us last week. He spent the night Thursday 8/24 and Friday 8/25. My purse was left in the living room. He might have gotten my card number. He has been in jail. I hate to think he did that but, If it's him, I want to press charges, if he needed money he should have asked for it, I would have loaned it to him. His name is Kenneth Hall. I reported this to my bank. Bank of OZK. I will have my money back Friday.
Two fraud charges on my Wells Fargo account, however, my bank caught this and did not approve the $300 transaction today or the $20 transaction yesterday. I called GTL Inmate at 877-650-4249, spoke to a 'Brandy' who was a manager or supervisor, and she assured me they were not a scam company, but she refused to provide me with the person's information whom had my bank card, and she was looking at it in her system! Yes, they are a scam/fraud company!
This company charged my account 3 times. I do not know any inmate. Happened right after I added my debit card to Walmart Pay. I also checked out at a Walmart self checkout. Not sure if Walmart or the machine I was using got hacked to steal my card? So confused. Chase took care of it.
This is fraud. Just adding to the others. Same number, different year (2023) Called my bank, reported it, had to get a new card. So frustrating!
