Answer 1

you could stop answering the phone when they call. or call them back...

Answer 2

hunt them down and break their fingers works for me!

Answer 3

Just be rude back or make something up like NPJK (which could stand for national police, joking). hope I helped!!!

Answer 4

Contact your phone carrier and tell them that you are receiving harassing phone calls.  They will then log the source of all calls.  When you receive a call, document it on a sheet of paper.  After seven days, contact the police to file a harassment report.  With the logs from your phone company and your documentation, someone will get a visit from the po-pos.  Once the police are involved, you can get a restraining order which can put them in jail.  Problem solved.

how to get rid of one

Answer 15

Do you have a phone that shows the phone number of the person who's calling you?  If so, just don't pick up any calls from that number.  If the person can't get to speak to you, they will probably give up.

Here are some tips to help you deal with prank phone calls and stop the problem permanently:

1. Call the Police and inform them about the prank phone calls.

You need to do this first since some break-ins, violent crimes or kidnappings can begin with a seemingly innocent prank call to your home. The criminal may be trying to first establish who is home before making his next move. Do this even if you keep receiving calls from someone who then hangs up - this is reason enough to complain and inform the police.

Just pick up the phone and call the police. Don't worry. They have some standard procedures for dealing with these problems because there are many people to whom these things have happened before. Better safe than sorry.

2. Trace the prank phone calls

If you think you know who called you or if you suspect a silly friend, bully etc and you don't want to get the police involved yet, the best thing is to trace the call. The fastest and easiest way to trace a call is by using caller ID. Most of the phones these days have caller ID so this step is very easy and straightforward. Write down the phone number immediately.

3. Do a Reverse Phone Lookup – (Helps you find the identity of the caller and source of the prank calls)

After you've retrieved the caller's number, you can conduct a reverse phone lookup to find out the identity of the caller. You will find out who was calling (Name), where the number is located, their phone company and the address of the owner. You can conduct an instant reverse phone number look up online at any reverse phone number lookup website. Looking up a number using this type of site is very easy. All you need is a phone number. Just enter the phone number in the search box provided and the website will search for a match. When a match is found, the record will be displayed to you. Using a Reverse Phone number lookup website is much cheaper and faster than hiring a private investigator.

So next time you get prank phone calls remember you can stop them by calling the police, tracing the call or by using an online reverse Phone number lookup service.
