    Thumbs down Harassing/threatening calls to a land line from my ex- what can I do?

    I've been online trying to figure out how to stop this- but I'm not getting information I need.

    He just started calling my Mom's house where I am at for vacation an hour ago (5am). I kept hanging up on him but after the third call I decided to speak to him only to get the phone to stop ringing.

    He calls from a private number- but all he has is his cellphone and I know that number. Initially he threatened to use a gun on himself, then he threatened to drive to the house and make me sorry for what I did by hurting something I care about.

    My Mom has had this number for over 15 years- she will not change her phone number. Not to mention I will get cussed out for even bringing it up- so any other suggestions please?

    Call the police hon and file a complaint.

    File a complaint with the police immediately. I don't know where you live but in PA things get tricky as we mostly have PFAs not restraining orders so it's important to go to the highest authority as soon as possible. Your mother changing her phone number shouldn't even have to be an option.

    Also if he threatens to hurt himself, you have to stay tough. The only thing you can do in that situation is contact his parents or the police, do not allow yourself to be manipulated.

    I have been in a situation like this before and I felt stupid getting the police involved but you will feel so much better and I wish I had done it sooner!

    I agree you should report him to the police. I'm pretty sure there is a way to block calls from private numbers and send it straight to voice-mail, with landlines.

    Call the phone company that provides the landline number .. You can check it by seeing who is listed on her phone bill for te landline or who provides the service in that neighborhood. I have seen landline telephones that have blocking enabled for blocked numbers. The phone goes to a message that says this phone number does not accepted block calls please unblock and call again. Also maybe get a caller Id phone tell her it's a present a new phone or get her a handy wireless home phone that has caller Id and say look isn't it cool you can sit on sofa and have phone right in your lap? So you won't be so obvious. That way you can take pictures of the numbers and times they called. Maybe call operator on landline to ask about call blocking i don't know. Good luck and yes call the cops because at least there will be a paper documentation in case more serious things happen or you want to pursue retraining order. Police department non emergen t number can guide you what to do. Also look online website of procedures in dealing with harassers so you legally are at an advantage. Or stop by police station to get advice? Sometimes women's domestic violence websites or hotlines can provide good information though yes this isn't a domestic violence issue. Good luck hun

    Call the phone company and have them block his # and private callers.

    Ditto to everyone else's responses. Please don't delay in letting the police know about these harassing, terroristic calls. Stay strong hun.
