University of Washington Social Development Research Group imposter

Victim Location 84101

Type of a scam Identity Theft

The Social Development Research Group (aka SDRG, at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work) has been contacting me through fake phone numbers (not representing the Univ of WA) and fake facebook profiles (not representing individuals/groups affiliated with the Univ of WA), repeatedly for over 3 months, asking me to complete their research surveys. I looked up the names of people working at SDRG and on that particular survey, and none of them had the phone number or facebook profile of those individuals that have been contacting me: their names were made up ("Emily CYDS", "David CYDS") the people leaving me messages on the phone (Clinton Attaway, Emily Levy) are NOT listed as a University employee, neither an SDRG student/affiliate/associate/assistant. The survey might have been designed by the university but they’re using illegal methods to get responses.
