Ever harassed by a debt collector?

Federal agents in Georgia arrested John Todd Williams, 48, founder of debt collection agency Williams, Scott & Associates along with six other employees on Tuesday morning for allegedly running a $4.1 million debt collection scam that targeted more than 6,000 people across the United States. Typically, they would call borrowers and say they had committed a crime such as "check fraud" and that if they failed to make immediate payment, a warrant would be issued for their arrest. The debt collectors would read from scripts to threaten people with lines such as: "Who are we? We are a government task force set up to investigate and collect info on individuals involved in Depository Account Fraud and theft by deception."

Sounds like an extra harsh telemarketer. Anyone ever had one of these guys on the phone making threats?
