(253) 617 in Tacoma, WA

Received a text 2:38 pm 8/4/25 saying I would receive texts from the debt collection agency Tate & Kirlin Associates. Did not include debt information, just payment website which does not coincide with the actual Tate & Kirlin debt paying portal which I found easily by searching the company. The reference number provided in the text did not work in the actual Tate &Kirlin portal, and the phone number doesnt match numbers on their website. I also entered the link provided in the text manually (I did not click the link) which took me to the same Tate & Kirlin portal where again the reference number did not work. Seems very fishy to me especially as I am unaware of any unpaid bills.

Inappropriate photos and text messages

someone keeps texting me from random numbers asking if i'm selling land that isn't mine

Have called 9 times today..finally blocked it. I called the number..recording about some survey company..

They keep calling

Several calls. No Messages left.

we are on the do not call list

I am so glad I researched this number. Now I know that this caller is a scammer asking for Donations then you have to give them your credit card over the phone. To me, that raises the red flag. It is pretty sad that they are using the Children to scam people.

this number called me, ans. machine picked up, and they hung up. I live in Eastern WA and this number & prefix is Tacoma

Must get rid if these scammers and get the Feds to do it! Calling at 8PM and on the "FEDs do not call list" does not stop them...THey need to be punished!
