Based on the following information, I request that my above recommendations be ignored based on the Federal legislation. Here is an easier solution,
in a nutshell it says that it is illegal for the anyone to be doing this. Please call your local police and let them know the nature of these faceless phone calls. Here is the Federal law in part:
47 USC § 223: Obscene or Harassing Telephone Calls in the District of Columbia or in Interstate or Foreign Communications
- 4 Part Test -
1) Is there evidence that the defendant knowingly used an electronic communications device to make and then transmit a communication which is obscene, lewd, lascivious, or filthy, AND with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person? OR
2) Is there evidence that the defendant made a telephone call or used a telecommunications device, whether or not conversation or communication ensued, without disclosing their identity AND with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person at the called number or who received the communications? OR
3) Is there evidence that the defendant made or caused to be made the telephone of another repeatedly or continuously to ring, AND with intent to harass any person at the called number? OR
4) Is there evidence that the defendant made repeated telephone calls or repeatedly initiated communication with a telecommunications device, during which conversation or communication ensued, AND with the intent solely to harass any person at the called number or who received the communication?
47 USC § 223 Federal Cases
Reading actual cases where this statute was used will help you understand how it is used and whether what is happening to you fits the definition of this crime.
