706-494-9079

Received call from 706-494-9079 caller ID said us govt IRS. When ans. Machine answered they hung up. Recieved call approx. 3-31 P.M.

When I answered a man with a foreign accent (possibly Hindu) said "This is" and then hung up.

7:45 AM call from obviously foreign accent - said his name was David ... from the Government - I stopped him and asked him, in my most obvious just woke up voice, to not call this number again - then I hung up.  I have reported this number to the National Do Not Call Registry - I suppose if they get enough complaints they may do something.

Keep getting calls from a 706-494-9079 identified as: US Govt IRS

We do not answer and they never leave message, just keep calling every day or so.

Keep getting these annoying calls. We do not answer.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

I received a call from this number @ 7:51AM our time and when I answered the phone, a machine disconnected us. I called back and got what appeared to be a genuine IRS recording machine, but I KNOW that the IRS does not call. They send a letter instead. Obviously a scam caller!

Thank you for posting this information! I have received two phone calls from this 706 number (US gov't IRS), no messages. When I called back you get an IRS recorded message. I was confused because I am in New York. You answered my question. Thanks again!

caller ID US GOVT IRS  called @ 5.00 pm MST from 706-494-9079 called back number to IRS in Georgia. Man with possibly Indian/Hindu accent asked for me by my first Name when I said that's me he wouldn't talk and hung up.

I have been getting calls from 7064849079 IRS FROM GEORGIA. Why would I  get calls from GEORGIA when I don't live in the State of GEORGIA.  If big Businesses didn't out source over SEAS we wouldn't be having these kind of problems.

These are criminals using computers and/or disposable cell phones to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US--and they are not necessarily limited to overseas scammers. A woman recently received a 20-year prison sentence for scamming thousands of dollars from elderly victims using a cell phone:

Whoa..Where are the forum Racist Police?  Sleeping on the job I guess.  We are not supposed to know what race is speaking by the sound of their voice and speech and if we do,  not allowed to say or the Forum Police will arrest you,  or does  that apply to only one race.

You will be glad to know that your comments have been flagged.  Have a nice day.

Seems like they're getting more aggressive.This last one called me up giving vague details about a 'criminal case' against me (complete with case #), and asked me if I'd been contact by my local 'state police' *snerk*. I entertained it for awhile, but when he wanted me to confirm my email address (he had my work address), I declined, citing the reason that I suspected a scam. He launched into a diatribe calling me an idiot, and threatened vague legal consequences. He declined to repeat what department he was representing when I asked.

2:20 I just got the same call sounds like the same guy. I am bothered as he had my correct name and address. He said I was being investigated for a criminal case against the IRS for tax fraud complete with case number. When I told him I was recording the conversation and I wanted his direct phone number and extention he hung up. If I wasn't aware it was a scam he could be very intimidating.

I receive pone calls from this number (706-494-9079)  and then they hang up.

they call and I don't answer. so far just my cell phone , called the # and got recorded message supposedly fro IRS

Received a call from a David Wilson claiming to be from the IRS saying I was being sued and I had a case number of S4C5593. He also inform me that when we hung up he was calling the local police and they would come arrest me. The caller I.D. was 706-494-9079 and that is the phone number he gave me when I asked for his number. He spoke with an accent as well. I finally hung up on him after receiving the threat of being arrested.

Same here bro he gave me the same case number scared the [***] out of me but at least we all know its a scam now

I keep getting these calls too. I have trapcall on my phone and also iphones can block numbers. I love these fools. I wish more people knew that the IRS will not call you and ask for payment. I can see how this one really gets people off guard.  I want to get one of these scammers in a room so i can beat the crap out of them. Stupid morons.
