What to do about anonymous harassment

Can you not block selected numbers from giving a ring tone or from text reception on a cell phone?

Sounds like he's ****** someone off. There has to me more to this story.

Remember the old klingon proverb.

When I answered, the bloke on the other end would ask for Hugh Anchor and then hang up. Well that's what I thought he said.

Ivor Biggun introduced me to Hugh Janus.

Dowie's right, the prozzies must have gotten their details from somewhere, how about asking them how and when?

Not trying to be Sherlock here, but who do they know that:
- knows where they live,
- knows their mobile number,
- knows the name of their partner,
- has a link with Canada,
- has a grudge against them

Perhaps get a new mobile number and slowly give it out to certain people, when the abuse comes through on that line then they may have a likely suspect.

Go one step further and set up a sim card for each person you give your number out to. That way when phone 54 gets a random call, you'll know it was person Y.

There must be a way to do this electronically? Surely you can buy a number online and set a divert up with some kind of logging.

Do your standard 'gash for cash' hookers actually make house calls, or are these the escort type booked via an agency?

Revenge is a dish best served cold

I'm glad to see the majority of people are trying to get the prostitutes monies back

He wasn't that phased by the phone calls, not his girl is anxious as they are using her name/DOB/address and changing his number can't change this!

I suggested maybe his girlfriend could do a Freedom on Information Request to the clinic to try and get an IP address but I doubt its something they would keep.

That's not how Freedom of Information works. FoI is a liability on public organisations, not private ones such as clinics.

Khan translated it badly. The actual Klingon proverb is "When cold revenge is served, the dish is always very good"

I prefer these ones though

One man can cut four thousand throats in a single night, if he is continually running.

Only a fool fights in a house that continues to burn.

A sharp knife is useless if the eye is unable to clearly see.

If winning is not important, why keep score?
