ok here's the issue : some a-hole from Colorado (googled up the area code) keeps calling me (5x's on Friday, 21x's on Saturday, twice today) and I have no idea who he is, but he's yelling at me in arabic. Its getting really annoying to have to delete this voicemails.
I've already blocked 2 of his numbers from my cell phone service, but he keeps finding a new phone to call me. I have no idea how he got my number, its not listed on my webpage or linkedin or facebook, and its getting annoying. Sort of weird he got a 408 area code (for San Jose) and he is in Colorado.
Anyone know if there is something I can do besides having to update my phone blocking list every time? I only get to block 5 numbers.

Next time he calls, grab a whistle, a good quality one, and whistle into the phone. Continue this until he stops.

This reminds of a weird "phone thing" that happened to me a few years back.
About 3 am my landline rang. I picked up:
Woman voice: Mr. Farhall this is your wake-up call.
Me: Ummm what?
Woman: It's 3 am and this is the wake-up call you requested
Me: (now louder) What - your calling me at my home!
Woman: Sir calm down, you requested our wake-up call service and this is your call.
Me: I DID NOT REQUEST A WAKE UP CALL AT MY OWN HOME
(click)
I star 69'd the number and it couldn't retrieve it. Makes sense it was a hoax but the voice was not familiar and no one ever fessed up.

Yah maybe someone here knows Arabic; host the files somewhere and get a translation. Or, if nobody knows, I'll pretend I do and "translate" it free of charge.

CP - I love you
I'll try #1... maybe #2 if #1 doesn't work.
(in all seriousness - is this something you can go to the police to report? I'm not looking to press charges or anything, just to get this a-hole to stop calling me)

In 2 hours, actually. I had a game, then checked my cell phone after the game and saw 21 missed calls... thought wtf... and yeah, for 20 minutes went had to go through 21 voice mails of some language I didn't understand.

Though who knows if they would actually have time to do anything about it.. and since it's across state lines doesn't that make it tougher?
If you keep blocking eventually he'll run out of #'s, I doubt he'll realize that you'll have to delete one after 5.
Yeah I'm wondering that . I guess I was more asking, is this something you can even go to the police about or will they just laugh at me and tell me to go away?

Doesn't hurt to call them if you ask me. Who knows, maybe this guy is doing it to other people as well. At least then it is documented. Even if they laugh at you (they won't), does it matter?
Phone harassment - help?
