I regularly receive phone calls from my son who is in prison.in an attempt to access Securis Technologies's website to check the balance on my prepaid long distance account, I accidently reached the Milicorp website called Cons Call Home. I was told that I could save a lot of money by using their service, which they said was perfectly legal. I am on a limited budget so I thought this sounded like a good idea.
The person I talked to, who called himself "Randy, " gave me a phone number for my son to use to call me, and he charged my credit card account $191.00, which was supposed to allow up to 300 minutes per month for up to a year. He said this service was "guaranteed" and even gave me a toll free number to call and cancel if I was not satisfied with the service.
My son was never able to get through with the number that Randy gave me. It turns out that prisons do not allow 3rd party calls. When I called and asked them to cancel and refund my money I was told that the refund would go on my credit card, but it would take 5-7 weeks. After 5 months and 4 telephone calls to request a refund, I still have not received it. Each time I am told that I need to wait a little longer. Something should be done about this scam!!!
