About the 253-353 exchange

253-353 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 253, which covers Washington. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to T-Mobile for the Tacoma, WA rate center in 2006. Numbers from this carrier are usually wireless (cell phone) lines.

People keep their number when they move or switch carrier, so this is where the number was first assigned, not where the caller is today. Local time for 253-353 numbers is usually Pacific time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 253-353 number may not come from T-Mobile at all.
