Nazz - how old are you that you've had two stalkers? Were they actually stalkers or just people who have a crush and are too shy?? What exactly is this person doing to make you feel stalked?
If this is the real deal, then follow the advice of the above posters:
You said that you have the phone # - file a police report. They can do a reverse phone look up and find the owner of the phone. If things are really at the stalker stage, then you'll also need to file a restraining order.
Then call the phone company, tell them that you have a restraining order and block that number from calling. You may also want to change your phone number to prevent him from calling you from other phone numbers.
If he really is harassing you, then make sure you report any violations of the restraining order.
Arm yourself (pepper spray, self-defense etc) and be careful of your surroundings. Don't give out your new phone number to anyone except trusted people, and warn them against giving it out as well.
Let people in your life know what is going on so that they can be a little bit more conscious of strange people/phone calls etc. (Particularly the people you live with: parents, siblings, spouse, roommate etc).
Just be smart - YOU are your best defence. Don't put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation (i.e. don'g walk to your car alone etc).
Of course - this is only in the case of a dangerous stalker, and not just someone who has a crush and can't screw up enough courage to talk to you.
Lol!! But you can never go wrong with being careful!
i have called the phone company and filed a complaint. they fwd it to their legal dept then block the caller/trace the caller. - so wht he did, he calls me from another number …
i dont know who it is, but he knows everything, including (latest)..where i work
I dont pick his calls, ignore his messages. have told him leave me alone have etc. nothing!
I cant tell my brother.. a few times things got too ugly in the past. Mum thinks i shudnt be so fussy with guys and i should take it easy
Where i am you cant call the cops until a genuine threat occurs. he doesnt threaten me…isnt threatening me…
Whos is Mr. T??
@ cadet - … thats coz you dont take me shopping.
and any other posts… i apologise for my thread if it seems a bit odd..but its only here that i might get unbiased comments. plus noone knows me..
Have you considered changing your number and making it unlisted? Try not to pick up calls that you dont recognize. Carry pepper-spray. Hang up the second the person tries talking to you on the phone. Do it everytime, dont change your pattern.
You could hire a private investigator if you really want to find out who it is, but make sure they are legitimate. Once you find out who it is, you can file a restraining order on the person so that police have a record of it.
@munni - i cant get a restraining order until he actually does something / sez something that is a threat/harmful
ive avoided his calls/msgs etc..i.e not replying but i do read them . ..my number is unlisted. but he knows where i work.
Nazz, I think if he is that persistant and not threatening you ( yet) then you should try to speak to him to get him to come out open .... and try to explain to him how you feel about his behaviour ...
I am telling you through experience , such people , if you ignore them , they will run after you all the more... so keep it polite and very very formal , when he calls , dont sound defensive , talk to him like you would to a friend ... and then in those few minutes try to get him to talk and find out what he is after exactly ... if he just wants to be your friend, tell him nicely you dont make friends like that... and let him know how awkward he made you feel with things he did ... POLITELY..
if you feel he is sounding violent or there is a risk , then tell him you dont feel good around people who scare others. say it all politely without shouting or abusing and put down the phone. And NEVER talk to him again ..change numbers what ever ..
In most cases , they will chase you for a while and then when you are not putting up a fight , they will leave you ! if you keep you fighting back , they see it as a challenge and do it all the more !
..my avis cute …
@ twinn - first time he said all the stupid stuff…i love you, want you, only you etc before i cut it saying buzz off…
@ cadet - NO!!! he ‘follows’ me when im shoppng!!!..or is around me freaked out
Nazz - I think you need to follow CB's directions above.
When he calls you, engage him in conversation. Talk to him like you would a friend and try to get information from him.
Ask him, "So how do we know each other again?" etc to try and identify who he is. The more information you have about him the better, and the best way to do this would be to play the game.
You don't need to meet him or anything, but keep him talking and ask him questions about himself: his name, where he works.
Oh God…i cant do that?? im just ..rude…coz all that mushy B****ty stuff about love etc pisses me off… oh well..maybe its worth a try ..latest development, he said hes drunk! sheesh!
