I got a call from this number Tuesday 7/19 and called the number back and was put in contact with an Male of Indian descent who claimed that his name was Thomas Brown, obviously bogus, with badge number 1099748 claiming to be with the Georgia office of the IRS. He asked me to verify my address and email, YEAH RIGHT!!! He did have my email but not address at which time he wanted me to validate an address in some town I have never heard of nor lived. When told wrong he wanted me to give him my correct address...LOL not gonna happen! After him wanting all the info from me I began asking him for his information and he became very agitated and unwilling to answer more than his "Name and badge number" I also was able to get that he was supposedly calling from the Georgia IRS office. I even asked him if he is from Georgia why is he calling someone in CA, didn't care about the state lots of people. He just told me that when the federal police arrive at my door I would then know all that I would need to know. Told him good luck and hung up... Definitely a scam... Co-worker got the same calls at work on the work recorded line and when they were told that it is a recorded line we had no further problems.
