Sicko prank caller

[hellokitty]

All very good points, thanks.

I called Jason about ten Min's after he made the sick call, he sounded exactly as my partner described his voice so I'm in no doubt it was him that made the call. My feeling is that he may have got the wrong number BUT he decided to be a dumb ass and carry on about what he was doing and what he wanted to do. It was quite a graphic call from my understanding.
As I'm in Queensland at the moment, my partner has trouble sleeping at night by herself anyway and I have a five year old in the house, I took the call VERY seriously. I'm just glad I'm coming home on Monday so I can upgrade security at the house to make the missis feel more secure.

Do you have a friend that can stay with her? For whatever reason, she is scared and surely someone can stay with her.... you must be very stressed by this - as a man, you want to fix it NOW and you are in another country. A shitty situation.

Hi there,

My partner had a prank caller tonight at around 1:00am.
He was a sicko telling her how he was wanking himself and that sort of thing.
She has called the police and given them his number and name, I called him from skype and asked if Jason was there and he said "speaking", he sounded like a young falla who was half asleep in bed. I told him what I thought of him and he denied making the call (good ol caller ID doesn't lie).
Anyway if anyone knows someone by the name of Jason with cell number 0221702408,
Tell him he now has an enemy, the police has his name and number and he is a piece of shit who needs a bullet.
And feel free to call him and scare him a little if you want, he freaked out my partner so he deserves it.

Thanks

Calm down you lemon or I'll finger myself while typing up my next response

If a complaint is made ... they have to act on it.

Often better go directly to the phone company concerned. Their usual knee-jerk reaction is block the phone and delete the number. The old "this number is no longer in service" when you dial that number. No warnings ... No notice .... No excuses heard. DONE ... !!!

And the phone is useless to anybody.

Sorry FJ it hinges on what is' malicious' with the Police Officer involved, and the bar is quite high.
The telcos protect the caller with privacy issues and in the end you wonder who the victim is.

The term is "Misuse" not "malicious" ...

112 Misuse of telephone device

(1) Every person commits an offence who, in using a telephone device,
uses profane, indecent, or obscene language, or makes a suggestion of a
profane, indecent, or obscene nature, with the intention of offending the
recipient.

(2) Every person commits an offence who---

(a) uses, or causes or permits to be used, any telephone
device for the purpose of disturbing, annoying, or irritating any person,
whether by calling up without speech or by wantonly or maliciously transmitting
communications or sounds, with the intention of offending the recipient;

Although I wonder why the original posters wife did not just hang up. However ... the reported content of the call ... by the caller ... is covered in the above quoted portion of law.

Any cop refusing to act in this case ... would be due more to lazyness, more than constraints of law. Regardless of what they may tell you.

The term the police use is 'malicious'. That may be due to the law, rather than telecoms contract, which means didley squat in real terms. I have been down this track, have you?

Never had one, but had a couple of flashers in my time.

I find laughing at them quietens them down. Have actually seen the evidence of this action. Semi erect penis turns inny when you laugh Sometimes if they are close enough they actually run

How horrible for your partner, very unnerving I am sure. Nothing worse than being scared in your own home. Tell her to buy a gas powered horn, hand held. Have it next to the phone. These fucks prey on vulnerable females. I promise having a gas powered horn by the phone gives your partner POWER! If this dick (or his pathetic mates) attempts another call, all she has to do is fire off the horn. Caller gets bleeding eardrums, your lovely lady gets to giggle...

I hope it never happens again.

Yes, The call had been recorded. Police knew who to call in the phone Co. Within the appropiate time before calls were deleted.

Result. Court action by police and as I stated by the phone Co.

Other (unrelated) charges were also laid against this person. He was "A person of interest to police" ...

our experience is wife receiving call at 2:00am on her cell phone (can be picked up on landline voicemail) from a telecom landline (when redialed would blow anyway), went to local cop shop, he checked out the number and knew, said it wasn't a malicious call enough as he was concerned,or a wrong number even though they knew all thenames, fuck off you you stupid complaining lady and have a coffee with the rest of them,ive got retirement to consider, she goes to telecom, who is this number and how many times has it called while we were away, oh no, we can only release those details to the police or your lawyer on request, privacy you know and all.........long story I am not telling but we have a huge letter from the corporation involved.
Busted but NO helps from NZPOLICE or TELECOM. The proof come about by the corporation checking off their phone bill.

edit, the call was not of a sexual nature, and was 3 months ago.

[FJRider]

our experience is ...

I asked NO questions ... (That is as you found, "invasion of privacy") A written complaint was made to Police and phone Co. With dates and numbers involved. Copies kept and the copies were signed by both, to confirm a complaint was recieved.

THEY both had to act then. Police Complaints is the next step if they DON'T take action.

As for the phone Co. ... The question to ask is (if they hesitate) "Who is YOUR supervisor ???"

That usually gets their attention.

A trail of paperwork is hard to ignore.

My wife could not get the cop to act, community constable, so spade work was done ourselves with the number received. To my knowledge our village is home to some of the fastest toys on two wheels and four, so I know when not to push my luck, but what upsets women is totally different. Better result received than a prosecution but don't expect telecom or police to act because a contract says so.
Some slimebags work on a different level, and when they know how far to go within the the law, what upsets 'normal people' (whatever that is) is tough luck.

I once had a flatmate who worked for Telecom ... before it became telecom. I learned quite a bit what can or cant be done. Sometimes "not quite" in the system to such scumbags.

Yes that would help, but unfortunately 'scumbags' may be their customers as well.

So after much deliberation, I have a good friend staying at the house to keep the missis from going stir crazy and as usual the police don't give a shit, Telecom has blocked the weirdo's number (thanks) and I have a locksmith coming to the house to beef up the door locks and windows.
To some this may be a small incident that doesn't warrant any action, but to me this is an attack on my family and I'll do anything I can to make them feel safe while I'm away.
As I've been robbed four times at a different house and home invasions are becoming more and more common these days, there is little people can do to defend themselves from this sort of thing except turn your house into a fortress.
I have an air pressure sensor alarm that goes off instantly when a window or door is opened anywhere in the house, my computer is a security camera that takes pictures when motion is detected and sends them straight to my email automatically, I have two good guard dogs and an array of weapons throughout the house, and the new deadbolts on windows and doors will make the missis feel a bit more secure as she doesn't think the other technology is good enough.
Now I just have to hope i never loose my house keys.
Fuckin criminals!!!! Bring back the death penalty!!!!!

[jrandom]

Bring back the death penalty!!!!!

Seriously?

Your missus received an offensive telephone call that was probably a wrong number in any case, and you're ranting about the death penalty while ejaculating wads of cash all over the local alarm installers and locksmiths?

Nobody's coming for her in the night, dude. Just tell her to calm the fuck down.

If this is nigh on the most upsetting thing that's ever happened to you (and based on the number of exclamation marks in your posts, I suspect it is), you've led a very sheltered life.

Don't be stupid, you can never be to paranoid and don't forget he can spot a sicko just by looking at them http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...post1130144125
