Some creepy guy keeps calling me? He knows a lot about me. What should I do?

Question

Some guy called my cell phone the other day. He started cursing me out and said that he knows where I live and that he was gonna beat me up. I thought it it was one of my guy friends just prank calling me. I wasn't very nice to him. I told him so shut the h**l up. And I asked him how he got my number. He just kept yelling at me so I told him to shut the h**l up again and I was like answer my question I said how did you get my number. But once again he ignored me and started cursing me out again. I held my ground and kept asking him questions like how did you get my number, how do you know where I live. I guess he eventually had enough of ignoring my questions because he just hung up on me. I did tell my boyfriend everything that this guy said just in case it wasn't someone who I knew. (They called on private so I have no way of getting their number). But then about 2 hours ago the same guy called my house phone, my dad answered. He was screaming at my dad and my dad was like stop screaming at me we didn't do anything and some other things which I don't remember. This really freaked me out because none of my guy friends have my house number...and none of them would have taken it this far...they would have hung up on me and called me back saying that it was all just a joke, not stretch it out over 3 days. But now since they have my house number, they have my cell number, they know that they are the same people, and they know where I live I really don't know what to do. I'm sure that it is not one of my guy friends.

I didn't tell my dad that they called my cell a few days earlier.

Do you think I should just let this go unless they call again or something?

I really don't know what to do anymore.

I am now to the point where I'm actually thinking that maybe I have a stalker or something.

I'm a little freaked out.

What should I do?

Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

I'd say, something like this is very serious. Even if its just a pranks, its still not a funny joke. Try telling your dad about everything -- and that he keeps on calling your cellphone. If he calls again, in your cellphone or at home, you call the police and report this. I'm sure your network provider can also help you find out about this person. Honestly, I'm not being paranoid or anything, but this guy has serious problems. Its either he's a crazy person who have the hots for you or he's somebody you offended but just couldn't remember. Take it seriously before anything happens.  

Answer 2

... i think i would be kind of afriad to go outside if this happened but you should tell you parents they have been calling you atleast

Answer 3

By all means tell your father about the previous cell phone calls. Then you will want to contact the police. Since they called your house number there is a way for them to track it, on a cell it is more difficult. You "should" be freaked out. Start making sure you never go anywhere alone and carry some mace with you. If this guy has your home phone number, he also may have your address.  

Answer 4

Did he actually tell you your address, or did he just say "I know where you live?" I'd personally call the phone company and see if they can trace the call to find out where it came from.  

Answer 5

What kind of things does he know about you??? Have you put your phone number on your MySpace page and is it public (if you have one)?

Answer 6

I think some1 is taking revenge on you, or some one is having a good

laugh at your expense. i think u should b careful, and make sure u know what type of friends u have. Mayb its a boy-friend problem, wherein u  have a  boyfirend , who some1( some other girl) and she is

jealous, so has made somebody this to frighten u and scare u. I think it will pass over, and meanwhile take some precautions.

Answer 7

Dear God, tell your Dad! If something does happen and he doesn't know, he won't know to think it is strange if you are late or whatever. Go tell him right now, even if you have to wake him up.

I'd also call the police. You can't find out what that private number is, but they can. Also, set your cell phone and have dad set the house phone to reject all anonymous calls.

Be careful!!

Answer 8

if you made sure that all your guy friends didnt do it,

then you should tell your parents and maybe they could call the cops or an investigator and its better that you deal with it now then make it get more scarier

but make sure first that its not one of your friends cause then it would suck if they would get caught lol

Answer 9

put a trace on your phone...but its kinda your fault for answering a private phone call...you should have waited to see if they left a message, recorded it, and went to the police if he made a threat...but you could always change your cell number tho for a quick fix...

Answer 10

This is harassment and you need to involve your local police department. Report these incidents and you will be told how to proceed. This kind of behavior can lead to a worse situation, since this individual sounds mentally unstable. Don't try to take this matter into your own hands and definitely don't take any more of his phone calls. Hang up and get some help right away.

Answer 11

even if it's on a private call you can report them to the police and they can probably trace the number, especially if they threatened you, or even cussed you out, it's the best time to do so.

Answer 12

You should tell your dad and the police, the police can trace the number to who's using it, if he calls again don't answer unless the cops tell you to (if you decide to call the cops). Good Luck, and be careful.

Answer 13

Have you try calling the animal control? 0-0 he's insane!!
