I get crank calls on my Verizon land line from a person, name & # show up on caller ID. How can i report it?

Question

Person calls late at night and when I answer she says, "I have the wrong number.' when my son answers she hangs up.

Answer 1

you can report it to the police. the phone company can't do anything about it.

Answer 2

call verizon and have them block the number

Answer 3

Wait until abou 3 am and then call her back and say, hey did you call me I returning your call.  Do that a few times.  That should do it.  But, I think, it is a young girl, callling for your son.  She is checking to see if he is home or out.  If you live in a small town, you could look up the phone number in the local phone book and get the address.  You can also put a block on that phone number, but then she will call from a different phone.    Report it if it really becomes a problem to your phone service company.  They will stop it.  Good Luck.

Answer 4

Google the number to try and get an address.  If you can get a Name, and address along with the number, fill out all the coupons, freebie offers and other c**p that you find as magazine inserts, online offer etc etc. with their full information including Name, addy, phone and let telemarketers and salespeople get your revenge for you.

Answer 5

I'd use their number and a fake name to sign them up for things, lol.

Call your phone company, they should be able to help.

Answer 6

You can block the caller using *67 + the number you wish to block.

If it is a serious pain in the neck or frightening you may report it to the police. I would advise doing this, as it seems they are trying to find out if a woman is home alone.

It might also help to call Verizon and ask what other services are available for help with these types of calls.

While you're at it - make sure any voice mail you have is recorded by your son or another male voice.

Answer 7

Call the Police and get a police report over the phone. Then call Verizon and give them the police report number & in about 48 hours it will stop! Good Luck!

Answer 8

Put a block on that number cause other then that there really is nothing u can do!

Answer 9

report to the police, it works

Answer 10

Telephone the local police and tell them the number; they should be able to trace it. Is it your area code? If so, you may be able to look it up in the phone book. Let the police know that they have been consistantly bothering you.

XOXO,
