I'm being harrassed by an anonymous attacker?

Don't you have any "stalker" laws where you are?

Rosa

Nothing they can do....sorry, they are all busy taking prince William and his girlfriend clubbing (12). Or attending to Kate Moss' neighbours meeting. (8), that's why they can't do nothing for YOU.

Chances are that the person sending these messages is someone you know very well and not very far away from you. Keep the papers you are sent and show them to the police when you have a few of them.
Next contact BT and tell them of the nuisance calls you are receiving, they will trace the number and report the party to the police.

Not a lot they can do unless you have an idea who it is!

It sounds to me that it could be someone where you work!

Best way to play it is to talk to the manager or human resources or most senior person and ask them for their assistance. If the allegations made are untrue, then you need to ensure that your employer knows this!

The police could ask for the letters and obtain tests but it is very expensive and time consuming! Find out from the envelopes/letters, where they were posted and narrow the search down a bit! Most vindictive and stupid people would not think to post too far from where they live - so the envelopes can tell you quite a bit!

They can't do anything unless you are physically hurt or your property damaged. As someone else answered, it would be somebody/ or an associate of, someone you know very well who has some sort of a grugde.
I know this is no help to you but at least you have your answer I guess.
Wish I could tell you what to do, sorry.

I would put your complaint in writing to the police. They don't like this because it is legal proof of your complaint. Set out what your problem is and how worried you are about it. It might be that they do not think it serious enough to investigate at this stage but if it continues, put it all in writing. Remember you pay their wages!

Have a quiet word with your Personnel Manager at work for a start. The Police should also have given better advice than that.

Don't worry if someone knows this much information they are most probably someone you know like a close friend or family or maybe just someone that knows of you. But he polcie should do something about it like offer protection!!

As you have been told, it is someone who knows you.

Who knows your phone number AND where you work?

This narrows it down. Is the voice male or female? Is there an accent?

Who do you know that might have a grudge against you? Have you argued with someone? Have you recently been promoted? Is this a new job?

If so did someone you know also apply? Is there someone at work who deliberately avoids you? Have you had a dispute or argument with a neighbour or someone you know from your social life?

I have no doubt you could come up with a few more questions like this.

Contact your phone company who may be able to trace the origin of calls, the police will act if you pressure them enough, they keep the crime figures down by not logging them in the first place! threaten them by saying you will contact your local newspaper or MP, they will then get off their backsides and do something about it. Contact your Citizens Advice Bureau, I always thought that they would just listen and not help but they are very very good at dealing with this sort of thing. Good luck.

when i had trouble simmilar to you the polie were very good,as were the phone company who provided a service to my phone where no one witholding their number could get through. maybe it's your area,or maybe they're waiting for something really bad before they take it serious.

If you have their phone number you can contact BT or your phone provider and ask them to block this number. Have you or can you discuss these allegations with your employer? Police may take more of an interest in what's going on if your boss approaches them You don't say what you do...... May be worth seeking advice from the CAB. Are you in the UK?

I bet its a jealous colleague. Have a think who it could be and tell the boss, have you passed anyone on the way up the ladder?

A housemate of mine had this problem about 10 years ago (in the UK). We called the police, they traced the call and asked the local police to "have a word." It evidently worked because he never heard from the nutcase again. Do not give up. There IS something they can do. I do not understand why they would not take it seriously.

I agree that you should speak with your manager or HR in case this escalates beyond letters and phone calls. Of course, this should only be on a need-to-know basis, but it could be invaluable letting your work know what is happening. If the situation does escalate you will have the benefit of their support (I hope) and they will then be able to make noise to the police. Of course, that should not be necessary, because they should be listening to you. However, you do have to do whatever is necessary to protect yourself and your job.

Good luck sorting this out.

the police are perfectly capable of dealing with this they just cant be bothered , all telephone calls are recorded , if the call was made from an anonymous mobile then they can find exactly within one metre from where the call was made .

my advise is to speak with a lawyer and ask him to contact the police on your behalf and try not to laugh when all of a sudden your problem becomes the most serious the entire police force had ever had to deal with ,

WHY ? = because lawyers sue !

bob

your boss has a duty to protect you from this at work just as he would if someone came into the office and kept shouting at you
explain that this is really distressing you
ask him to sort it
don't go to work (get a sick note for stress) until it is resolved
most companies will use every means necessary to prosecute this kind of behaviour

mark [mjimih]

try to get him to leave a message on your answering machine. get in the habit of not picking up your phone right away.
Then send the recording to the authorities. Play the recording to your boss at work, he may recognize who it is.
Put a web cam in your apartment(or work office/cubicle) and try to keep it on when your feeling vulnerable, if anything should happen, you will have him caught on video

Ask a trusted friend at work to help spy for you and snoop around for who is so mad at you. They may be able to get proof bc he won't know they are watching him.

backinbowl

Probably the latter, or maybe they just don't care.

Dan

nickle
