This is a call from the State of WA - Apple Health and extending benefits during enrollment period.
Answered this call this morning, he said he worked with Apple Health and wanted to verify my address as they had gotten mail back as undeliverable. Never asked me for any verifying account information. Yes, my son has state healthcare but I get the statements in the mail just fine every month.. He still pressed for my address and when I told him I would update it online, he just said "okay" and I ended the call. Called Customer Service and was told they would never call and ask for information like that.
This is the number for the Department of Corrections.
Called me multiple times but I don't know this number so didn't answer.
actually, 206 area code is also Washington
It is a scam call - State of WA would have a 360 area code, not 206.
Psa it’s it’s from an inmate calling
The number showed up in my call logs as a missed call. I was sitting by the phone and it didn't ring. Just over a minute later, the same number called again. When I answered it, I heard two short, monotone beeps and then the call was terminated. When I tried to call the number back I was met with the following recording: "You have a non working number for the state of Washington"
This is not a scam phone number it is a legitimate WA State Department caller
This is the phone number that shows up when a number of different state of WA agencies' staff call out from their extensions. It is not a scam- it's just a general state of WA number that shows up on caller ID so that you can't see the caller's direct phone number. Not a scam.
harrassment
Called and said I can help you with your social security, she left a message to call back 253-681-5197 says she is away from her desk yet she just called , leave your name and social security number, wow I will NOT claims she is Jane from social security office not what a SCAM
Called but didn't leave a message. Possibly scam.
Caller ID shows 'State of Washington', didn't leave a message. I just ignored.
It was a legit call from something like department of social health for a renters, verifying their rent
A woman called claiming to be with a Washington state government agency. She was very aggressive and knew my name. I’m not sure what they wanted as I got off the phone as soon as possible.
I didn't answer the call since I've gotten scam calls wanting to sign me up for Social Security benefits before and this was an unknown number to me.

Help others by rating this number - was it spam, a business, or something else?
It's used by different WA State Agencies. They have numbers located all over the state and they rarely leave messages! So unprofessional but what else should we expect from a state agency. You call and leave a detailed message then they call you from an unknown WA number and don't leave a message but they mark it down as the call was returned.
