Not just annoying, illegal
I wonder how many people actually realize that telephone harassment is a class A nonperson misdemeanor. First offence is usually a find of about two hundred dollars. The fine will increase with additional convections. Phone harassment is a general term used to describe any kind of unwanted telephone call that’s intended to cause upset, grief and alarm. It’s an invasion of privacy, and a form of bullying. The laws on telephone harassment vary from state to state so if you think you are being harassed check the law for your particular state. I also recommend that you keep a telephone book to note the date time and if possible the caller of every received call with a notation on the calls that are harassing.
