In Texas it is illegal to threaten someone with jail for not paying a debt. These people are scumbags.

Stop talking to them. If they call again, ask for names and addresses, and ask for the name of their company. Give them five seconds to tell you, and if they don't, HANG UP ON THEM.

I am going to repeat this because I'm afraid you won't do it: HANG UP ON THEM.
