Next time they call, tell them you don't believe in ghosts.\n\nThat should put an end to it.

Contact the police and file a report.  After he does it a few times, file for a protective order (injunction against harassment) with the court.  The police will serve him and instruct him to stop calling.  If he calls again, it will be a violation of the order and subject him to jail.  Do not call him.

Hey little buddy! Sounds like you stepped into a big bucket of stuff there. Just goes to show it dosen't pay to try and be nice. This guy must be some kind of freak. The sad part is I'm sure he has done this same thing before. With a nut like this all it takes is a simple HI from a pretty girl and they automaticaly hear "Take me now, I want you for ever and I'll bear your demon seed" What's even sadder than that is he may end up hurting somebody. I'm glad you realized that and ran. The guy needs a  12 step program to stop the voices that are not there. Oh---The only time you should have to put your life on hold is if you have children. They would come first no matter what. Otherwise no man or no one can tell what you will or can't do. And for gods sake, don't be givin' out your danm phone number or address. Be safe and happy

You need to call your carrier first, they can look it up and see who it is.  You need to document every time she calls to show that there is  definitely a pattern of this harrassment say for about a period of two weeks.  Then you need to make a report to the police so they can press charges against this perosn.  This advise was given to me by a sheriff's deputy when my son was getting harrassing messaging on his cell.  Needless, to say, it stopped.

This is highly likely a sting operation. They are conducting them in many chat rooms now days. But, just in case, contact your State Police. They can find out who it is.

First, run spell check.\nSecond, he sounds like a predator. You should notify police.

Jeezzz...that's alarming.  first go online and check out megan's law.  see if he's registered.  if you already know, call your local authorities and ask them what they think about the situation.  also call any child protection agency and alert them, ask them what they think.  and you can do this all anonymously. You can also contact any state or nation-wide organizations that work with protecting children.  it's good that this child has you watching out for them.  good luck with this.  it can be a dicey thing to interfere on behalf of someone else even if it's the right thing to do.   just make sure you're absolutely sure and all your 'ducks' are in a row so to speak, legally.  \n\npeace.

If they are blocking their number, you can call your service provide and ask them to trace the call (tell them that you are being harasssed). They will be able to find out the number.

absolutely not!!\n\nIf what he is doing is harming your children or you in some way, you have to look out for the kids and yourself.

Sure sounds like stalker material to me.  Just stop seeing him/returning his calls and eventually he lose interest.

If your intuition is going off, don't leave your kids alone with him!  Look at your state's sex offender database...a google search should pull it up...

Fiirst the phone company, get your number changed if you have to and then report it to the police.  Ask the phone company to trace where the calls are coming from or get a incoming calls listing from the phonne company.\n\nHope this helps.  good luck

I have never been in this situtaion before, but this is what I would do.  I would start recording his messages if I can.  Start a log of when he calls you, time etc.  I know this sounds like a lot of work, but you need this information to get a restraining order on him should it come to that.  I would also call my local police department and get advise.  I would let my boss know what is going on.

the only thing you can do is call the cops and get a phone tracer, and thats it unless you have one yourself. i wouldnt do that though, cus u will ruin the fun of prank calls and be a f@ggot for ruining it.

This may be a little late, but you should notify your local police department about the threat and the person who is threatening you. If possible, stay out of your environment in case they strike you or harm you and your children in some way. If you know this persno, find a way to recieve a restraining order from court. And, if possible as well, settle your dispute with the person and see a solution for your disagreements. I hope that all will be well in your life and I will be praying for you, whether or not you believe in the same God that I do. I wish you peace.

It's a good thing they are not coming after you, so be thankful for that. Sounds like he owes somebody some money. Short of changing your telephone number, get as much information as you can from the next person who calls you from that place.  Ask about exactly what it is they want from him and who that company is and how to contact them.  Get their phone number, maiing address, and as much specifics as you can.  Ask them as many questions as you can think of and keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Then tell that person that you are not your ex, you have nothing to do with him, that he is no longer with you, you have no idea where he is, whatever, and request that they stop calling you, and if they call you one more time you will file a complaint with the police. You might also try something like saying "Put me on your 'do not call' list.  That's supposed to be for telemarketers but tell them you don't want what they are selling.
