countryman Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I am hoping someone can help me here, last night I get a call on my mobile from a mobile, the man on there knows my name and that I shoot, basically he's just being a fool on there and he knows who I am but I don't know who he is. It is not a joke from a mate he's trying to rile me up. I have his mobile number which I rang back and he answered , as soon as he knew it was me off he goes again. I am not clued up on phones and what you can find out on the internet so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 As far as I know you can block calls on almost any mobile. Certainly on my Android phone it is as simple as tapping on the number in call history, going into "details" and one of the options is "block", Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prem1234 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 So the only people who can 'officially' trace a mobile is the police etc but if it's a SIM only and no contract it's hard for the police to trace the owner. As indicated above you can very easily block the users number depending on if it's Android or Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I can block the number, the thing is I was hoping to may be get a location on him if he calls again and let him know that I am doing something about him. I have never had this sort of thing before and I am at a loss as to why whoever it is is calling me.He was not threatening in the call more stalker like.

Vince Green Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Straight to the police if its stalking like behaviour. Just to get it documented in case it develops into more Edited January 23, 2019 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 If he calls again I will report it, I can block the number but he could just use another phone and so on. I live in a secluded spot and he has knowledge of my shooting set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 😂 better idea put the number on here and then all of pigeon Watch can call him and ask what his problem is 😂😂😂could be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 You have to report it to the police, then yoir mobile carrier provider, then the polive and service provider will be able to trace the number, if contract then you have the person who took it out. Is that the same person calling, who knows... Its never good if someone is harassing you in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm wondering if there might be a cautionary temporary suspension of ticket if the police become aware you are being bothered by an unknown person deliberately concealing his identity who knows you have firearms. You might want to get any firearms stored at an RFD's - or a mate if its shotguns you have for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can block the number, but if there's a chance he has more info than that, and it starts escalating, then it becomes a real problem and you will want ever scrap of evidence you can get your mitts on. dates, times, content, you name it. If you stop answering it, (as you know the number you can?) then it might just stop as the chap gets bored, but if he doesn't, he's unlikely to be put off by blocked number. Any idea how he got the number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) No idea how he got my number, so far he's not called again , I would gladly put his number on here but I think it will encourage him more to call me. A friend of mine has put his number through something called what's app, his number is on there but no location.

Stimo22 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think I would send a calm and measured text to the number and say that due to the sensitive information mentioned that you required the owner to fully identify himself. I would say that you are concerned with security and if the information was not recieved within 24 hours that you will report the matter to the police.

If you need it sorting then it would be your service provider and police. If they get bored and stop contacting then just ignore i guess.
