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.
"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?"
"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...'"
"'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."
"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."
"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."
"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.
No, 509 covers eastern Washington State, including Spokane, Yakima, and Spokane Valley. It is a real, fully in-service code; scammers spoof it to exploit the trust people place in calls that look local to their region.
Eastern Washington's mix of urban and rural households gives scammers a wide demographic to target with a single spoofed prefix. Particularly reported here are prize scams involving a "Rebecca Howlett" who claims to be distributing Treasury Department grants or Publishers Clearing House winnings, and tech-support callers impersonating Amazon or Microsoft who invent unauthorized iPhone purchases to panic victims into granting remote computer access.
