OT - The harassing calls

I know someone who's getting harassing calls and emails. The angry, mentally
unstable harasser says "I'll call the police and have you arrested". Even
though, there's no crime committed (by the victim). The calls are getting a
bit tiring.
I'm thinking there's got to be some way to divert this unstable person's
attention. Give him something more interesting to do. Judo move, back away
and let the attacker hurt himself.
With the collective wisdom of this group, there has to be some creative
answer. I thought of sending the angry harasser an email from a disposable
account (Hotmail?) and provoke the person. Tempt him to make some angry
phone calls (to the number in the signature box?). Number of what? Flower
shop? Fire department? Gay bar?
Need some ideas, folks.

to hide, let the police handle it.
On a side note, when the harasser calls again, keep a nice loud airhorn next
to the phone and put it to the mouthpiece when he calls. His ears will be
ringing for a long time after that.

faxes than real ones but some clients insist I still use a fax machine.
Also had problem with father suffering dementia in nursing home as
numbers would rotate and I just had to keep blocking a new one.
Hated to block my own father but he would call at all hours of the night
as he did not understand it that he might be calling at 2 am.

I'd also save a good number of the harrasing messages.
With caller ID, I assume the person is not receiving them
directly, but instead they are left on an answering machine.
Get a good number that show the scope of the messages
and then take them to the police.
The person could also
file for a restraining order. Then the harraser would either
have to show up in court to defend themselves or they would
most likely get one by default. At that point if there is proof
of any further contact the police can just arrest them immediately

As for police, it very likely makes a difference whether the calls are
coming once a week or twenty times a day, whether daytime or late night,

stages, the phone co. might take it more seriously than the police...the

My IP has a set up to block emails; trouble is, the IP sends me an email
each time it blocks one! I definitely would not respond to them, other
than ONCE to tell them that the victim does not want any contact with
them. I have been through dealings with nut cases who are not afraid to
lie to police; trust me, it is difficult to defend one's self in those
situations, esp. when aggressor is a cop :o)

Sure, the cops are unlikely to do anything and the phone company can't do
much, but at least you need to start a paper trail. Nut jobs like this often
escalate and having proof of a complaint, even if the cops didn't do
anything other than file the paperwork, bolsters the victim's credibility in
the future. The victim also needs to document each and every unwanted call,
preferably recorded by voicemail or machine, as well as any response to the
nut job ("Please stop calling me"). This sounds like stalking, and there are
laws against that in many states.

harassing calls to her husband and other male neighbors. The guy was
accusing these guys of molesting his wife, and threatening to call the
police. She dealt with it by picking up the phone next time he called
and telling him to leave hubby alone or she'd come over accompanied by
all the other women in the neighborhood, plus the cops, and deal with
him then and there. The calls stopped.
Seriously, tell your friend to file a police report. It won't
necessarily do anything about stopping it, but oftentimes the police
tend to give more credence to the party that complained first. So if
this caller is threatening people with the police, call the cops
first. For all you know, the cops will end up telling you this person
has a history of doing this. Maybe they're looking for someone willing
to file a complaint.

phone calls, this "deputy sheriff" you spoke to is probably not
familiar with them or even the definition of "harassment"...
Do not ask the police for legal advice, the average police officer
does not possess an adequate knowledge of the law to be able
to give you any sort of useful answer... Police Supervisors often
correct inaccuracies in the way of legal gaffs made on submitted
reports by the officers under their command...
Speak to an attorney for legal advice, in this situation, an inquiry
made to the local district attorney's office would be in order for
advice on how to proceed in a way which will result in usable
evidence being generated which can actually be used against
the person making the disturbing phone calls...

phone calls, this "deputy sheriff" you spoke to is probably not
