It seems that I've quite successfully acquired myself a cellphone stalker! No I'm not the kind of person who gives my cell number to just about anyone I meet, neither do I display it on any of the Internet forums that I am on. But this caller is freaking me out, since it is the first time that some anonymous person is giving me such calls. Here's the Stalking Timeline so far:Last night I was fast asleep when my cell rang twice around 11pm.
Second time around I picked it up, and a strange male voice gave my FULL NAME and asked me if I was that person.
I, in my groggy state of mind and still half asleep, replied yes. *at this stage I didn't suspect this person to be a stalker so I was only answering a standard phone call*
He then proceeded to say that he found me on the net and wanted to know if I was looking for a partner! *as soon as I heard that I freaked out and disconnected the call immediately as if I was speaking to Jack The Ripper!!*
What went through my mind after that was a good 6 hours of repetitive scenes from the horror flick 'Psycho' that made me lay awake til dawn, that resulted in a severe headache due to lack of sleep and the sudden phobia that has developed in me! His cell number got recorded in my call log *since his number was detectable, that kind of tells me it's not a serial rapist - but if it is, he must be superdumb!*. So after alot of thought, I texted him asking who it was and how he had obtained my phone number. I was being polite cos I really needed to handle this myself without having to drag the Police into this *not yet* and I desperately needed to know WHO it was. I got an immediate SMS reply saying that he badly wanted to talk to me and that he was going to ring me again in 2mins, and if I'd pick up the phone! He also said that 'it would be worth it', and left some kisses n hugs for me...in 'xo' form! To which I didn't reply. It was a lil creepy but for all I know it could be a friend playing pranks on me using another friend's cell. But what kind of sick and tasteless prank is that? I really don't have friends like that...friends who play stupid cellphone stalking games like that. So chances are, it isn't a friend. That leaves me even more freaked out. Ted Bundy images controlled my poor soul all through the night and I was imagining myself being hacked to death...lol! I know I'm a lil dramaish here but hey cellphone stalking is no joke. I strongly believe that invading someone's privacy and harassing them in this manner is a serious matter and an offense that needs to be charged with.
This morning I decided to take matters into my own hands, and dial the unknown caller's number to speak to him directly, find out who it is and ask him to stop the menace. He didn't pick up. Then I texted him saying it's best that I know who he is and how he got my number, or else I won't speak to him at all as he wanted me to. I haven't heard from him in the past 6 hours or so. Let's wait and see what he does next *perhaps tonight*. I just wonder how he found my cell number...that just baffles me cos my cell number is not public. And it has only been given to the closest people in my life, except for a new friend that I met recently. I'm just doubting if he gave it to someone else for the fun of it. I have already emailed him asking if he did that. He just replied to me saying NO he didn't!
Who would harass you on the phone like this...would it most likely be someone you already know? What would you do in a situation like this? What is the best way to handle an unknown stalker who calls you late in the night? How would you stop them from calling you without involving the Police and having to change your number etc? I want to handle this sensibly, and in a way that does not escalate the problem. I don't want to provoke unknown people, neither do I want to press charges without knowing who it is and whether there's any real danger from him *I'm sure the Police has more serious issues to work on*. The calls started coming only last night, so I'm gonna give it some time before I jump into rash conclusions and hasty decisions that I might regret later on. What say? Any tips or personal experiences shared, will be greatly appreciated.
PS: Sorry I haven't been around Blogville all that much lately. Have been extremely busy. Will come around when I do get some time. Thanks for understanding! And if I don't come around at all, then the Stalker scored a date with me, sadly for me!

Hey Keshi :)
I understand how irritating that can be. When that happens, I am often tempted to lose my temper and give the freak a sound hearing. That'll only escalate the problem, so I stop myself from doing such things. Well I found if you completely ignore such calls, chances are high they'll grow tired of it. And if the freak persists and proves to me he/she doesn't have a life, then I see to it they get charged for every call they make. I answer the phone, turn off the microphone and go back to sleep. There was one idiot, who kept disconnecting and calling back, in that case *sigh* i had to switch off my phone, i hate doing that!!! Grrrr...!!!
Be back soon girl!
:)
# 1. Ignore it and do not take it to your head
# 2. Call your service provider and inform them about this and check if the number can be blocked off
# 3. Lodge a complaint with the cops if none of the above work!
it may be another racist attack from some one from ur workplace or locality....
or may be some frnd playing a prank...
but see u r lucky...no one stalks me...
last time ..some one stalked me was a 11 year old kid :P
I experience this often :(
and the only thing i do is scold him badly when he calls me up! and sad part is it leads to worst. he will call more and disturb me..
i dont have enough dare to inform cops about it! I just keep quiet and put his no in silent mode. he will surely get tired after numerous attempts.. then he will forget..
thats what happens usually for me! :(
i dont think i can give you any solution but u can try my method.. :-| scold him and keep quiet!
anyways, dont fall into trouble..
take care keshi..!
cheers
Oh no, a cellphone stalker!
And he found u on the net, how strange but how on earth did he get ur cellphone #?
I think you have handled the situation the right way but if he keeps harrassing u, you I think u need to go to the police.
Don't take any chances, hun!
Hopefuly he won't call again, especially late at night.
Have to get some sleep now, been such a long day.
Sorry I was not of any help to you, keshi.
Take good care, be safe!
HUGGGGGGGZ!
Margie
wow and you even have a cell phone stalker lady. take lots of care. haven't been around for lots of reasons. sigh! wanna be back real soon. muah!
Phew, i hope you dont end dating your stalker.be careful girl, dont take matters in your hand.probably its just a dumb random call, i do get often of them, so dont worry, things would pass. Cheers:_))))))
Ignoring is my way of handling it, Keshi :)
Infact i ignore most calls on my mobile except from some very close ones...I hate talking on phones and most of my people know that. so they call my husband to leave a message....and the rest i can safely avoid!
but in your case....involving the police is not a bad idea i think...
violence against women is a serious crime under the jurisdiction of the police!
wishes,
devika
well no, i dont get many. but i got once. these days its very easy to get someones tel number. probably you would have shopped somewhere and filled some lucky coupon, where you would have given you number. or probably something of that sort.
I recently got a call, from an airline co. asking my name, and much later i realized that i had filled their questionnaire almost 6 years back.so just chill :))))))!!!!
I can completely understand hw irritating it must be. I had gone thru a similar experience where in the guy kept calling saying tht he wanted to make friends with me and tht he had seen me at some local station!! It was freaky and i still dunno who this person is!
But wht i did was jus stopped picking up his call, i wud simply disconnect the moment i knew it was him!
Also, u can call ur service provider and activate the service of blocking unwanted callers, i m sure u can block the number he's calling from.
Its disgusting how ppl make such calls...this guy used to call me every single day at night and talk shit!!i remember how i lost my cool once and yelled really hard at him. But u knw wht i guess thts wht they enjoy doing, annoying u!
So i think the ignore treatment jus works fine, wht will he do if u dont answer the call.
But a word of caution, be alert when u r travelling alone, u never know such creeps, they might resort to things like following u and stuff. My intent is not to scare u, but i want u to be cautious and realise wht to do when things go out of hand.
keshi, the best thing is that u have already solved the problem by calling him back...which has given him the clue that u got his number...u can find out who this chap is by tracing back his number...i think u can do this thru the telephone office ( if u know somebody) or even the police..
hopefully u wont get calls from him again...but if u do, let him know that u will be informing the cops...dont panic...some pervs get a rush out of that also ( go figure)...if the call contiues, pls inform the cops...and change ur number..
be safe...
haha, looks like you have been watching a loads of crime thriller these days.
These cellphone creeps are really cowards, wont harass u once you give him a nice scolding.
If you donno how to nicely scold, let me know, i will write one for ya!
heyy i think i need some tips on it too :(
similar experience..not so serious though...well..i juss don't recieve his call..tats all wat i do :)
Hey honn you better be careful.
Hug
a.Block the number. I guess your mobile phone has that facility. So do that. He deserves no chance now that you have tried calling him a couple of times.
b.If that does not work, call the cops.
c.If b does not work, forward the call to my cell, I will take care.
Relax and be good. I just hope it aint some racist scoundrel. That's all. Be good. Bless you.
*smilez*
will read this and comment soon... did you read my entire latest post?
the cute baby is the contest winner
oh...
just post his number on your blog... ill add that number to the porn-listings.. his number would be so busy and he wouldnt have time to even dial an outgoing call from his number..
have done that too phone stalkers and it is indeed funny..
hope it is not jack the stripper
it happened with me when i was in 12th.just b4 d weekly test,i wud get stupid msgs(almost vulgar)/calls where sum1 would say,"i wanna talk 2 u".my dad helped me out-he almost threatened d caller to hand him ovr 2 d police if he continued the habit.
much later i came 2 kno,he was trying 2 disturb me(mentally) b4 each test.i hope dat pervert is in hell now.
mayb u cud try 2 block him.
ha tc ;)
Eeks he sounds freaky. Can you get your telco provider to block his number? Else just plain not answer his calls. Hopefully he'll tire of it soon.
"IGNORE" is what i will suggest!!!I don't think there was any need to sms that guy it would have been better if you would have ignored his first call now he will assume that he is getting the attention.Just chill and don't be that scared!!!be brave:)
Never had a experience with a blank call... So practically don't know how to handle it.... I think chris had the best idea... why not follow it?
Someone once used to call me just to disturb..I'd scream out 'hello' at the top of my voice but he wldn't ever say a word.Faintly gigggle.It happened too often & I got very irritated specially when he'd just give missed calls.I texted him all the abuses I could & he replied ' same to you' LOL! :D
Sometimes we assume its a prank & it won't reach any farther but it can be a lil dangerous too.
If you want to totally ignore..put his no. on call restriction.If you wanna know who he is..just wait for a while till you figure out & if he seems harmless then you do not have to go to cops.
Call restriction is the best though..you'd never know how much he's been callin you.And then , of course if he isn't tired & calls from another no. ..a lil swearing wldn't be bad :P
Hie!
I totally understand how irritating this can get, but if you realize later that it was a friend, don't be tooo angry on him.
I guess..the ONLY solution I have is ignore him completely. Give tat number of his a name, and if he calls you ignore it. If it persists, go to an higher authority.
Things will be fine.
*Take care
U sure that on of ur aunts who deseparately wants u to get maaried gave ur number to this guy?
Hmmm... Did he have a spanish accent? ;-)
ah, cud be so irritating Keshi...
u know wha, dont pick up that number anymore...smtimes we are curious and we keep o pickin which only encourages stalkers like that
chal u tc... be good and keep smiling :)
By the way, Kesh, I have seen "When A Stranger Calls." Camilla Belle was wonderful. Have you seen her in The Quiet?
Why dont you lodge a complaint with the cops saying it's handiwork of a racist and we in India media will take it up so uproariously that the guy will dump his SIM card in the harbour. I bet.
You can forward that number to me. Think about it.
Take care and be good.
*smilez*
Just blast him on the phone..and tell him that his phone is being tapped and the police are on their way to grab him by the collar!!
that kind of shit happens... I hate it..
I had a female stalker, so I know how it feels :(
take care da...
cheeers...
Well, in US there is a site, donotcall.gov where you can add a number to that and then that person cannot call you after that. There must be site where you are too.
Or you can call your service provider and ask them to block the call, giving them a complaint that the caller is harassing you.
But since it's just one day, I think you can wait it out another day. It's probably someone acting funny or weird and fizzle out. ( I truly hope ) And don't give him or his calls too much importance but picking up or responding ( since you have his number ). Curiosity might get u to, but avoid it totally. He'll get bored eventually.
I hope you can sleep peacefully soon :)
hehehehehe a date with the stalker !!!! that will be fun kesh and then you both can sit around and devise new methods to stalk new people :) :)
jokes apart, ignore the guy kesh and take action only if he irritates you further.
Keshi,
It takes all kinds of persons to make this world. You should have just ignored the calls in toto. Anyways now that you have made efforts in your own way to find out who he is and have not yet succeeded, I suggest henceforth jusst IGNORE. There is a very simple way to find out the id but I would not like to put it here in open space. I am sure you know that tele-serials like CSR or whatever the name is give criminals clues how to avoid detection.
Take care
Be safe Keshi...if he calls again, then either block him or inform the cops...
Its always better to be safe than sorry. Also if possible, try to find out from where he got ur number...u might want to take care of it so that others like him dont follow...
plain frustrating.... i know..gone thru that n number of times during college... but i was young and reckless then that i played their own game and gave a spoon of their own medicine... it stopped though once i started working... i didnt understand y but was happy...
he wont bother much Keshi.. he ll be just a FOF..
oh well... totally random comment this... but i HAD to say... :D
i have an exclusive stalking contract. dewdropdream is my offcl stalker. and any other stalker would have to get her permission prior to stalking me! :D
and if she stalks anyone else, i can sue her! :D
coming back to the point... well.. i NEVER answer unidentified calls. if i don't know the number, i don't pick up. it's been a habit since i got a cellphone.
The games some people play...
"Who would harass you on the phone like this..."
*points at Keshi* You. ;-)
Seriously though, be careful. He's probably a real creep.
It wasn't me.
I have an alibi. I was on call with... Oh sh!t, i'll have to think of another...
On a serious note, be safe and stay tight till it all boils over. Either ignore it or have a guy answer your phone and claim that it's his new number.
Take care.
ty Sunshine girl!
** then I see to it they get charged for every call they make
LOL good idea there!
Keshi.
Rakesh thats the exact plan I hv in my head. :) ty!
Keshi.
hey bro tnxx!
**it may be another racist attack from some one from ur workplace or locality....
Racist? No one at my workplace does that to me, neither hv I faced Racism in Aus in my entire life here. I guess alot of ppl in India has got the wrong idea abt the whole of AUS just cos of few morons' actions :)
*no on stalks me
lol u wanna be stalked? ok I'll give him ur number!
Keshi.
hey Swetha u get 'numerous' calls like that? wow this is the first time in my life!
I guess u should tell the cops if the same number keeps harassing u all the time. Invasion of privacy is a serious offense.
Keshi.
hey ty Margie!
yeah I think I did the right thing too. By confronting him, he kind of hv chickened out...cos I didnt get any calls after that!
Keshi.
hey Utopia tnxx n u TC ok :)
Keshi.
hey ty Zillion! :)
Keshi.
ty Devika!
**Infact i ignore most calls on my mobile except from some very close ones...I hate talking on phones and most of my people know that.
I hate talking on the phone too! Im someone who likes short convos and dun dwell on my cell for too long :)
Keshi.
ty Zillion!
**these days its very easy to get someones tel number
yeah that makes sense. u never know if even our own banks etc hv prying customer service officers! cos they hv our contact details.
Keshi.
ty Ria!
**the guy kept calling saying tht he wanted to make friends with me and tht he had seen me at some local station!
thats scary! hvn SEEN u n all. I'd hv fainted if he said that to me lol!
yeah I can just ignore...but after my call to him, he has stopped it. cos he didnt ring after that. Lets wait n see. Sometimes Confrontation is the best solution :)
Keshi.
ty Tys!
**the best thing is that u have already solved the problem by calling him back
yes ur right! Cos after my call to him yday, he hasnt rung back yet. I think now he freaked out lol!
I know that abusing them will give them a sick thrill. So I wont do that. Confrontation is the answer and I think I did that already. :)
tnxx Tys!
Keshi.
hey tnxx Anuz!
yeah all the thriller and horror flicks ruled my head that night lol!
**wont harass u once you give him a nice scolding.
I dunno if thats the way to go abt it. cos Im a single woman and to abuse him wud actually provoke him or even keep him thrilled more n more. He hasnt called me after my last call to him. I think he freaked out :)
And how wud u abuse him? I'd like to know the list of words LOL!
Keshi.
Good one Joyce!
Most of the time, Ignoring is the best answer. If it doesnt work, the next step can be taken.
Keshi.
ty Lavida!
I can only be as careful as I can be :)
Keshi.
ty Soul!
I dun wanna block him yet. u know why? i dun wanna show him that Im scared of him. I wanna show him that Im WATCHING him too :)
**c.If b does not work, forward the call to my cell, I will take care.
LOL I really wish I cud give u his number...I wanna see how he'd react to a male stalking him in return! :)
No I dun think its a racist. He sounded quite SriLankan/Desi. I cud easily tell.
Keshi.
HAHA Chriz a very good idea there! @porn list
That will keep him busy LOL!
**hope it is not jack the stripper
LMAO! Imagine Jack rippin it and strippin it!
Keshi.
And Chriz, I commented again in ur post :) tnxx!
Keshi.
Anwesa r ya serious? Why on earth wud someone wanna do that? Thats so mean n selfish.
I hope he's in hell right now!
*HUGZ*
Keshi.
Vish I shall try ;-), ty!
Keshi.
ty Saffy!
yes I CAN block his number but I think I already mentally 'blocked him off' by calling his number :) He hasnt called after that...cos I think he freaked out this time!
Keshi.
ty Kunjal!
**I don't think there was any need to sms that guy it would have been better if you would have ignored his first call now he will assume that he is getting the attention
I think by calling him, now he's getting scared of me :) Cos he hasnt called me after that!
Keshi.
haha Suresh yeah Chriz has a novel idea!
I dun wanna put his number on my blog cos then I'd be doing the same thing as him - invading someone else's privacy :)
Keshi.
ty Sugar!
LOL @ur stalker!
I dun even hv to use Call Restriction cos it seems he freaked out from my call to him! Cos he hasnt rung me after that :)
Lets wait n see. If he calls me later on, I'd ask him to meet me at Maccas for coffee with the cops. LOL!
Keshi.
ty Crystal!
He hasnt called after my call to him yday.
If he calls again, I'd tell him that Im possessed by my dead granma's spirit and if he still wud like to continue stalking me...cos then we can start up a Stalking business together!
Keshu,
ty Tarun!
**U sure that on of ur aunts who deseparately wants u to get maaried gave ur number to this guy?
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thats the best comment in this post!
yeah it cud be Aunty-B in one of her desperate attempts to get me hitched, LOL Im so laughing here!
Keshi.
hey Rakesh!
**Did he have a spanish accent?
HAHAHA I was waiting for someone to ask that qn n u did! Well done! :)
no he didnt hv a Spanish accent but he did hv a slight SL/Desi accent.
Keshi.
ty Gypsy!
Actually I'd pick up if he calls again. :) And I'd tell him to meet me at the cinemas for a romantic date with me and the FBI.
lol!
Keshi.
ty Soul!
no I hvnt seen that movie. Sounds like a good one :)
**Why dont you lodge a complaint with the cops saying it's handiwork of a racist and we in India media will take it up so uproariously that the guy will dump his SIM card in the harbour. I bet.
hmmm I cant make assumptions like that unless the caller racially abuses me. However, I dun think this is based on racism. the guy sounded like a SL/Desi guy :)
Also Soul, it seems the racist attacks in Aus hv given a totally different picture abt Aus to those who live in India. It isnt that bad. I hv never faced racism in Aus. And we really cant judge a whole nation based on few morons' actions. Also, the media isnt helping much by only showing the sad side of things. The Aussie cops and the govt r really helping the Indian students right now and r planning to take action on the issue. I believe every country has racists, not just Australia.
Keshi.
ty Rahul!
I wanted to blast him but I controlled myself. cos by provoking him that way, I might actually drag the whole issue to another level.
So I called him, and now he doesnt call me :) I think that did the trick!
Keshi.
Arv tell us abt her! Im intrigued by female stalkers :) what do they say?
Keshi.
hey ty Adisha!
**in US there is a site, donotcall.gov where you can add a number to that and then that person cannot call you after that
yeah we hv that here in Aus too. But what if calls from another phone next time? :)
Thats why it's no point blocking his number too. Cos they can always call from a booth or a new number.
He hasnt called me after I rang him yday. I think the dude is peeing in his pants! ;-)
tnxx luv!
Keshi.
ty Prashanti!
**that will be fun kesh and then you both can sit around and devise new methods to stalk new people
LOL! I cud tell him Im possessed by Ted Bundy's spirit and he'd never call me again!
Keshi.
ty Jack!
He hasnt called since my call. So Im guessing he's freaked out.
Lets wait n see :)
**CSR
yeah, they actually give clues to criminals on how to do 'better' crimes!
Keshi.
ty Shachi!
**Also if possible, try to find out from where he got ur number...
yes thats what I wanted to know too. Thats why I txted him asking that. He didnt ans that qn.
but he hasnt called since I called him yday. Lets wait n see.
Keshi.
ty Rat!
**then that i played their own game and gave a spoon of their own medicine
yes! I think by calling him, he himself is shit scared now..cos he hasnt rung me after that. lol!
Keshi.
ty Raysh!
**DDD
haha cute!
** NEVER answer unidentified calls. if i don't know the number, i don't pick up.
well it cud be ur bank or a long lost friend or someone worth talking to. So I hv to pick up Raysh :)
Keshi.
I agree Steve...these r called CHEAP THRILLS.
Keshi.
ty Jay!
LOL @YOU!
me? Im not a stalker, Im just a mega stalker lol!
Keshi.
HAHA Trevor u'd hv to come up with a better self-defense statement next time! ;-)
**Either ignore it or have a guy answer your phone and claim that it's his new number.
Thats a neat idea! Im really gonna do that if he calls again. TY! :)
Keshi.
when i read the title i thought u were making a movie so i was happy i could a part in it :P..heheh...
hahah he is definitely a idiot ....let me tell u some exp i got ...when i was in bangalore i gave out my number at a mall for the lucky draw and i dont know who(still wondering who :P) a gal got my number from there :P...she used to call me like 20 times a time to say lot of shit...(once she said i love u :P) i can be talking to a gal whom i dont even know and how she managed to get the number from there...:P...i know she must be trying that number still :P....which some poor soul must have got :P..
these cell phone stalker guy must be a person ner by u...just look around when u get the call..because the people whom we know most must sometimes be playing pranks....but i know the shit they talk on phone and they should be ignored sweets...
similar case with my frnds cousin she was in her engg 1st year her parents were worried of this guy...so i helped them logging a complaint and the police got the guy ...he was a guy from near by area..who got th number from one of her frnd...
these guys dont have any other work trying to do such bad things...
list for blocking the loser as everyone gave ..:)..
1.just tell him the f word that may work...
2.just block him on the phone by service provider..
3.track him down and put him behind bars..
4.or just switch of for few days and he may leave u...
5.best thing to give the ph to a frnd who can scold him to his death
so just try one and let me know the result :)..anyways good mornin sweets :)..
urs..hemu..

HAHA Sanely! And what abt breaking his cell too? :)
Keshi.
Give his number to a male friend of yours and have your friend start calling the stalker late at night. I'm willing to call a few times myself.
HAHA BB thats quite a neat idea!
Keshi.
Keshi, hope it got sorted out.. I got a call like that once, and it freaked me out for a week..Then years later a pal told me that he had dared another pal to call me ( total stranger to me btw)...
its scary i agree...
but then a school of thought says it can b taken as a compliment too...
i prefer this school...silver linin u see

Keshi.
Nah Mayz its not a compliment..no ways! I dun want unidentified ppl complimenting me!
U came here after so long and ur saying ur in my every post? Nice try Mayz ;-)
Keshi.
when i went thru something like this 3 years back, I dint quite know how to deal with it. Figured its a silly college kid making the best of his pocket money + the free sms for students option.
I was too freaked out, so I called up a police station nearby and told them the matter, + gave the phone number of the stalker to them.
The next time he called up, I didn't pick up the call. Instead, gave him a call from the local PCO and told him that I've given a police complaint and that his phone's being tapped. And that he can look forward to visiting the jail in the weekend if he goes on with it. He never called again.
A few months back, I got a couple of sms es from another stalker + too many missed calls while I was driving. Though this time, I knew better. I called back at that number. It was a no reply. I kept dialling it, non stop, just the way the creep did. And now when I knew that this guy's enough intimidated and petrified himself, I thought of really giving him a dose of his own medicine. I called him up from a PCO again, and again n again. like a maniac.
And then he replies by sms that he just meant to play a prank.
My point: just freak them out, those freaks.
What I would do if something like this hapens again is:
1. call up the person.
a. if he picks it up, ask him in stern no nonsense and calm manner, who he is? you can't expect cowards like this to answer it, so you just tell them that you were planning to give a police complaint, so giving his name along would help. that's why.
b. if he doesn't pick up (which's the case 99% of the time) freak them out by calling them back.
2. In any case, dont reply by sms.
I hope he dint call you again!
These kinda people are cowards of the worst grade, i tell you.
They can be intimidated much more easily that what we would think.
aww ty Usha for sharing ur experience with me.
Thats really annoying!
**My point: just freak them out, those freaks.
Thats what I did...and eversince I called him and confronted him, he never rang me back! :)
Keshi.
