KevinC Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 BT have a "malicious calls" unit, will give you advice. They can block numbers, even those with number witheld. Give the Operator Services a call and explain.I had the problem of some lunatics phoning at 3 and 4 in the morning, was traced to someone living nearby who thought it funny to give the Vicar a hard time. They were threatened with disconnection by BT and stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 My sister was being harassed by an ex boyfriend who was threatening her life, and she rang her mobile phone company Orange, and they told her to get in touch with the police. Rang the police, and once they had heard one of these calls ( she recorded it) they contacted orange and they stopped the number being able to ring her.Trust me there is a way of helping you trace it. Even if you don't get the number yourself, they can do it. Might be they will block all calls coming to your phone who withhold their number.

zookeeper Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Thanks for that dollymarie, il leave it for now see if they call back then if they do il get in touch with the police, but knowing the police round here nothing will be done about it If I was in your situation I would record the events in a book of the date, time and what was said and then if it continues to happen you can present the police with some evidence to back you up. I company I worked for had to do a similar thing with an abusive temporary worker. I also think recording is a good answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Dolly's right. Every call from every number is tracked, it's a legal requirement for them to do so - and in fact it wouldn't surprise me if most calls were recorded. If you can give the police dates and times then they can contact the phone company and get it blocked and investigate further. The only things phone companies can't do are to give you the number if it was withheld, and they can't block it if it comes from a network that doesn't send the calling number (mainly abroad).If you manage to get a recording, then the police will be more inclined to investigate, and if they get to the point where they can make an arrest leading to a caution or charge you'll be told the culprit's name and address. If you can't get a recording they'll just block it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 If it was the first time, it could of been one of those wind up calls?I had a bloke call me up telling me how he knew I had been sleeping with his girlfriend and what he was going to do to me until I tried talking and got no response. So I started shouting, got no response again, started blowing raspberries and got no response again - so I put my phone on the coffee table - as the caller was obviously paying for the call!Hope you sort it out...
