Georgetown: After being bombarded by bogus calls of winning cell phones and GUY$500,000 in cash as part of an ongoing promotion by telephone giant, GT&T. Customers are making daily complains to the telecommunication provider, upon investigation GT&T Public Relations Officer Allison Parker, noted that the company receives reports on a daily basis about bogus calls and warned customers not to adhere to the requests that are being made by the callers.
Upon further investigation, Parker was shocked when the phone company pinpointed some of the numbers that are being used to call customers emanated from within the Georgetown Prison.
Officials of the phone company have since met with prison officials to discuss the issue.
She urged customers to report the bogus calls at once to the phone company along with the numbers so that GT&T can investigate, encouraging them not to fall prey to the predators.
It was disclosed that the prisoners who trade cell phone cards which are equivalent to cash within the Prison walls, would as part of their ploy use their cell phones to call random cell numbers to inform a GT&T customer about winning in an ongoing promotion 
being hosted by the cell phone provider. The bogus caller then informs the customer that before the process was completed, the winner must purchase thirty GUY$1,000 mobile GT&T cards, placed them in an envelope and drop them off at the BlackBerry Office on Brickdam, Georgetown. There one of the relatives or associates of the prisoner would look out for the duped winner and collect the package outside the GT&T office, then send the person into the office before making his escape with the cell cards which would then be transferred into the prisoner phone. The prisoner would then sell calls at a higher value in return for cash and other valuables within the Georgetown Prison.
