    Default Cell Phone Harassment

    New York:

    So i live in New York I have never been too nor do i know anyone from Texas. Yet for the past few months someone keeps calling at all times of the night and early morning. They are inapprotiate and very very annoying. I have called sprint to block the number but they say they cant do it. What are my options, i am not changeing my phone number but i want this guy to either stop or face the consequences. What does filing a police report entail and what should be expected of me.

    Filing a police report will ... get a report filed. However, the chances of a DA filing criminal charges against a subject in another state for a low grade misdemeanor is pretty slim. And the chance of extradition is non-existant.

    My phone has a way to block calls from unwanted numbers ... you may want to check with your provider and see if you can upgrade to a phone or service plan that permits this.

    On the other hand, if you don't answer his calls, he may get bored.

    I would answer it with something like....."New York Police Department, may I help you." See if that scares the person off and they stop calling. I only say that because I kept getting one of those calls after I divorced my ex-husband and I answered it with..."Sargeant ----". The calls stopped.
