You can add my coworker and I to the list of those who've encountered these maggots. My buddy started getting calls at work a couple of months ago with exactly the same scenario as is described above. It was obvious from the get-go that anyone calling an American and threatening arrest for an outstanding debt was full of it. Debtors prison went out with Ebaneezer Scrooge. Nobody goes to jail for debt in the US in the 21st century.
After a few initial calls with zero response from my friend they stopped calling. Since then it's happened twice more, including today. In fact, we had a little sport messing with these morons when they called. And call they did - they were quite persistant calling back at least five times. Each time becoming more rude, abusive, and demanding. We just laughed and gave it right back to them. I hope there haven't been too many others who've fallen prey to this crap.
