Person from India named "Dennis" stating that IRS is going to sue me if I don't respond. What?

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.

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.

You beat me to it.

They called and left a message on my home phone and said they were from the Treasury Department and it was regarding a Criminal act.
They wanted me to call them back at 302-440-0427.

Said she was from the US Treasury Department and there is a criminal investigation regarding my 2013 taxes. Said her agent number was 5453. I asked her twice if she was calling from the United States. She said "yes". This call sounded like it was from overseas. I told her that any communication regarding me can be done via regular mail. I was so mad I was shaking. Report these complaints to the FCC.

I just received the same one. I did not catch the whole message so I called them back and a woman from " India" asked me to give he my number. I stated another number just to see what would happen and she got so strange and angry and asked for the correct number. I could barely understand her and she started to ask for my info saying she was a federal agent with a badge number 54543. so confused and such a tricky scam saying I need to appear before a judge etc. glad / not glad another had this same call. :)

This criminal scammer is really busy this week!

get one of these calls almost every day for the last week. Same guy (Dennis w/US Treasury) about action sought against me and to call him back at same #.  Scam Scam Scam... looking to find out how I can block this # from inbound calls.

Dennis Quaid apparently is down and out and moonlighting for the US Treasury Dept. He calls a few times a week. He uses an Asian accent lest we recognize the actor himself.

Received 5 phone calls today from 1-302-440-0427
Told me they were calling the FYI having me arrested for back taxes from 2012 and 2013
It was the,same 2,ppl that,called both a man and woman thru both stated they would continue to call me and I told I would continue to hang up on them

FAKE - IRS does not initiate correspondence via phone -- ALWAYS certified mail for initial contacts and will only call after you have initiated a phone call to them.

I received this call, I new it was a scam as he stated that he was from the Treasury Department and ignoring his call would have legal consequences. I did not even want to call back to tell them to F*** off as I was worried that the call might have hiden charges.

Got the same call today 2-19-16 saying same as everybody else is saying... US treasury, they were going to help me. The message had elements of official sounding words, but c'mon the IRS doesn't have money to be calling anybody... Period. Somebody will fall for it...

I got the same message.  So glad I did some research first before I tried to call them back.  How do they get these phone numbers?  And it was from the same # as others have reported here as well.

Ditto!

Left very threatening voicemail.  I wish I had answered it, to give this Indian guy some threats of my own.

Just got the Delaware number.
Here's what I got:
Scammer
Supposed name: Dennis Quay
Accent: Indian or middle eastern

Also notice how he said Department of Treasury and NOT IRS. Only the IRS will tell you this stuff and it will not be a recorded message, with a letter.

Don't let these scammers get to you.

Big scam. Calling under the name of Dennis Gray IRS

Got the "robo call" from Dennis Gray on Saturday morning, and again on Sunday morning.  Anybody that knows anything about the IRS knows that they won't call that early, nor would they call on weekends.  The message said that I had a pending action before a "magistrate" - no U.S. citizen refers to "magistrates" - it's always a judge!  These guys are about as stupid as they come.

I thought the guy sounded like he was West Indian.
