The 509 area code is targeted by solicitors like "Nathan from Liberty Lake" and frightening calls about serious allegations against you. Callers use high pressure sales tactics or threats of arrest to manipulate you.
Callers mention your street address and claim they "drove by" to pressure you into selling your home or booking contractor quotes.
"Said their name was Nathan from the Liberty Lake area and that he owns a small family owned house buying company. He mentioned my address and wanted to know if I would sell?"
Robocalls threaten unbailable arrest by local cops over "4 serious allegations" of tax evasion unless you call back immediately.
"Received the same voice message: 'request has been made that the local cops and there are 4 serious allegations pressed on your name at this moment...'"
Scammers alert you to fake iPhone orders or $299 security fees, requesting remote PC access to issue a "refund."
"'Jack Brown' who has a heavy Indian accent said they would automatically charge my bank account $299 for Microsoft security renewal at the end of the day... according to him I had to be on my computer and fill out a form to do that."
Claims you won massive prizes or grants, demanding upfront payment via Western Union or gift cards to collect.
"A Rebecca Howlett gave confirmation number stating that i was selected and won $9,000 from treasury department of Grants from Washington... That i can go to any western union and pay $200 to collect."
Asks "Can you hear me okay?" to record a "yes" before pushing free hearing aids or back braces to bill insurance.
"Said 'her name was Hannah and she was a hearing something and she asked if I could hear her? I answered 'Yes' then they hung up... I asked her what business she was calling from and she said... Our household was eligible for 45 days of free hearing aids."
Vague robocalls claim to have seen your resume online, asking "Can you hear me?" and disconnecting upon answer.
"She said she was from an Employment Agency and that she saw my resume online. Then she said, 'Can you hear me?' After I made the mistake of saying, 'Yes,' the line went dead."
Phone numbers with the 509 area code prefix originate from the eastern part of the U.S. state of Washington, roughly comprising the state east of the Cascade Mountains.
All of eastern Washington, from Spokane to Yakima to the Tri-Cities, falls under the 509 area code. Agricultural produce brokers dealing in apples, cherries, and wine grapes, Providence Health scheduling lines, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers are typical callers.
