Can you make a recording of these phone calls? That would be evidence you could bring to the police. You need to find out if you are allowed to record phone calls in your state without getting the other person's permission, because you don't want to get in legal trouble yourself. The laws vary from state to state. The police will never know that this man is a problem if you do not report him. They may not be able to arrest him for being an illegal alien because they do not have federal jurisdiction, but they can arrest him if he is committing other crimes.

The Federal Communications Act and many state laws prohibit telephone harassment. People who commit telephone harassment are subject to fines, prison or both. If you are a victim of harassment, you should contact the police. If the police can identify the caller and find sufficient evidence, they will forward the case to the District Attorney's office to prosecute the caller. The phone company can also help track down the caller. A lawyer can help determine if the caller's words are obscene and if you are entitled to any civil damages, such as emotional distress, as well; to learn more about your rights, defenses, and the complicated legal system, only if you want to go to extreme to have this matter settled by law.\n\nThere is another option you can try, that is to set up a password with your phone company, which you only give it to people you wish to keep in contact. For outsiders they would have to know the password to call you up. I think this is an effective method to put into consideration.

I agree with all the people who say call the police.  The truth is, though the threat may not actually be carried out., you need to treat it as a very serious threat to her life and safety.  The most important thing you can do is GET HER TO A SAFEHOUSE OR SOMEPLACE SECURE.  If she needs protection from this guy, start off by getting her out of this situation.   Also, be her friend and help her feel safe and confident.  If the guy asks you where she is or anything, tell him NOTHING and WALK AWAY.  If he tries to hurt you or violate you, run and bring attention to yourself and get to a public place right away.  If this happens at your house, call the police right away and report him as a trespasser.

Please don't let this person scare you.  And certainly don't send them anymore money.  That's their business, to frighten people out of their hard earned money.  Just forgive yourself, and forget it.  If they bother you, threaten to report them to Ebay and the police.  Then you won't ever hear from them again.\n\nMy mother in law sent these kind of people money once, and the lady wrote me back and said, that she had a layover in our town, and had to tried to reach me by phone.  She had a desperate warning to share with me.  I wrote her back, did not included the money that she happened to ask for, so she could continue to "see" my situation.  I told her that I appreciate her trying to call me, and that if she ever had another layover in my town, I would like to meet her, but she would have to give me directions, because I didn't know we had a airport.  Never heard from her again.\n\nI know you feel scared, but the real "physicics" don't ask for money.  There are some that are on the up and up, but for the average everyday ones, they are blowing hot air.  That air is expensive too.  So, chalk this up as a lesson.  \n\nNow, if you truly believe this person has "powers", and you are still scared-then pray.  There are people that call upon the black forces(Satan) and use his powers for theirselves.  The only person then you have to protect you is God.  God can give the peace and the safety from the other's wickness.  Call to Him when you are in trouble, and He will answer.\n\nI sincerely hope the mother in law problems are better, and that you have found a type of relationship with her that you can handle.  You were desperate, and I am so sorry that you felt you had no where to turn.  Please, please don't send this physicic fake any more of your money.  Honey, there's plently of people right here that could give you some healthy advice and it won't cost a dime.  Don't be scared, this person needs a good swift kick in the butt for doing this to people.  So, don't be a victim again, if you send them the $250 again, it's going to cost you more and more.  Praying that you can find peace and not be scared, and that your problems disappear.  That's who has the real magic.\n\nGod bless us all.............

I am not Canadian, but would assume each province has it's own laws.  I would send each agency a certified letter (or equivalent in Canada) with an explanation of the situation.  Inform them in this letter that you consider their harassment of you a violation of your personal rights.  If they do not stop, then I would first complain to the appropriate government agency.  If they do not help you, then I would retain an attorney.   A couple of years ago, I had a similar situation in which someone had the same name as I.  I could not get them to stop calling me. The crazy thing, it was over $19.95.  I put it stop to it by doing two things.  The called me from an "800" number.  So, I started calling them back and tying their personnel up on the phone ten or more times a day.  When they would call me, I would blow a whistle into the phone.  When they call people all day long, they wear a earpiece that fits into their ear.  The shrill whistle sound goes through them like a hot knife through butter.  They stopped the calls immediately.  Good luck with your problem!

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

Yes, Report them without hesitation.  If they are here they need to know that we do not accept that behavior.  We didn't have the women's right movement for nothing.  If is acceptable in Mexico and he wants to treat women without respect the guess what, our border is open to go back where he came from.  Tell him that in the US, it is acceptable for women to have charges drawn against them for harassment.  It is acceptable for a woman to spit in the face of any man who is obscene.  Remind him that if he is in our country he needs to abide by our rules and hold him accountable.  That is our problem, we need to stand up and demand respect.  After all, they want to be called "guest workers".  As a guest, weren't you told to show respect and gratitude to your host.  It is simple manners, so demand it.

if you are recieving threats of physical harm, go to your local police precinct and file a complaint.  Bring copies of the email or other documentation with you.  They can advise you of your options.  \n\nIf you can trace the emails or know who they are coming from, you can also advise their internet service provider, as that kind of behavior is usually considered a breach of most provider's Terms of Service.

Get privacy manager. That usually stops the unwanted call. And if it doesn't they have to tell you who is calling. An operator comes on the phone and asks you if you want to accept the call or no. That has stopped a ton of unwanted calls at my house.

Be assertive! You can be calm and respectful by telling  him/her that their phone calls are annoying. If this doesn't work, block the number!

You need to know that person personally and get it from them.\nIf they want you to contact them they will see that you know how to contact them. . otherwise you are pretty much out of luck.\nUnless you personally know their family and can contact them through their family you are up a creek without a paddle.\nYou are treading on thin ice legally if you persue this matter.\nYou could be charged with stalking if you are not careful.\nThough they are ex-cons or criminals,they still have some rights and their rights are just as protected as yours.
