This number is one used by the state of Washington as a caller Id but they are actually calling from another at there office. They do not want the public to know there actual phone number do to harassment to them at there real numbers. other municipalities such as city employees also use this system.
This number is for the Washington State Department of Revenue. I have a business and the agent that I am working with called me from this number. But when he left a call-back number it was different. Possibly a back line number???
This is an exceptional class of jerk with the Bellingham office of CPS. This number is not on his business card, but is the caller ID report for several phone calls the guy has made in an attempt to call me.
Sorry, but I won't rat out a friend unless there is real abuse.
This number, and the accompanying JARGON (SOW-DIS-TSD-MOU) for the caller id, belong to the State of Washington. The FED and State government have the ability to "originate" a call in your local calling area to eliminate long-distance charges. For example, if you are in the armed forces, and if you have the code for NAS Whidbey Island, you can make a non-toll call from ANY enabled US Dept of Defense phone in the world to ANY phone number that is "local" to the Whidbey Island exchange -- of course, it is strictly for official gov't business, right? This number is similar, only it is the State version and belongs to the State of Washington. The originating office picks up their phone, dials the number, and the automated phone system from the State of Washington will assign it to the "local" exchange to route the call. In Skagit County, this number is 360/336-3383. If this number appears on your caller id, you are receiving a call from SOME department of the State of Washington; Child Protective Services (CPS), Dept. of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Dept of Rev (DoR), Dept. of L&I, State Patrol, State Treasurers Office; heck, maybe even the Governor. Hope this helps . . . . A previous post has question marks about the MOU portion of the i.d. It refers to Mount Vernon, the exchange from which the call is routed through.
I have received a few calls from this number lately and when I return the call it is a disconnected number. I understand that it is a State of Washington number designed to make long distance calls local for whichever state office is calling per your post. The problem is that the caller is simply hanging up after 30 seconds or so and it is very annoying if not disturbing.
