I have been getting weird phone calls all day long, at first I didn't give it any thought, but around 6pm they started to get creepy. My husband had left for work and my 11 year old answered the phone while I was talking to my sister as she was picking her girl up. He asked the person for their name and he was cussed at so he hung the phone up. My older son got on the phone to make a phone call 2 minutes later and got a beep and answered it and it was the weird caller. They asked for his mother and he said I was busy and asked to take a message and the guy got all mean with my son saying I was on the porch . He hung up on the caller. So my sister got the next call and told him to stop calling when he made sexual remarks,and hung up the phone. 5 minutes later they called again and my sister yelled at them and said that we were calling the police. So I did. They gave me a incident # and her badge # and was told to call my phone provider to have a trace put on the phone. I called cable and was put on hold , almost 10 minutes later the dude told me that they can't do that, I have to get a court order to have the # released to police to press charges for phone harassment. I haven't gotten any more but I am home at night with my kids by myself and its scarry because that guy caller made comments like he knew our routine! I called my mom to vent my frustrations with cable and she called them up to find out what we could do now and I have to pay to have Call Screener put on! Anyway thanks for letting me complain but I also think that others should know that Cable phone will not trace calls but if you have a court order then they will release the #"s.
