I thought of that too. It states:

Quote:
Harrasing/abusive calls
How to handle obscene, obusive, threatening or harassing calls

1) Hang up at once! Wait at least 20 seconds before placing a call. This allows Verizon's equipment to disconnect the caller even if the caller doesn't hang up.

2) Never give any information, such as your name or address, to unknown callers. Teach all members of your household, especially children, not to give out any information

3) If calls continue, call your Business Office and discus the problem

Wow.... that was a LOT of help

Hey, Next time say the words "Operator, this is the call" press a number and hold it for a little, than say it again. Repeat until he hangs up. You could even mention the frequency like "This is his fourth call today", and make notes of the times he calls. He will think you have someone at the phone company helping you.

One time I got a loser perv on the phone and when he started asking me questions like what Im wearing and talking dirty to me, I turned the tables on him and asked him all that stuff. It makes them crazy, takes all the fun out of it for them. If he calls again, try it.

A good Whistle blown in the phone usuallyquiets them down. Get yourself a police whistle, and use it.
