My hubby n i had stopped contacts w my in-laws cos they are experts in conning people's money even their own parents n siblings. No a few hundreds or thousands but over a million n they used the money to buy themselves super branded car n lives in luxuries! These deeds are detested by my hubby n I esp. they used others sympathies to con them of their live savings n then when deadline to return the money, they'll deny everything n even call police to arrest their relatives! Now, we are so disappointed that we decided to stop contacting them but after almost 1 year, they started caliing our hp using different numbers( i know its them cos those numbers belongs to various companies they are working with!) I feel so stressed up now n keeps hearing phone rings though when i checked the phone, there's nothing! I even had nightmares of them snatching my baby ( i guess got to do with the phobia i had when they ill treated me badly). What should I DO?!! I feel so stressed out!

Rather than hide or run from your "conning" in laws, may I suggest that you and your husband face them "nose to nose" by placing a conference call to them. At this time let your in laws know you do not want to resume a relationship. Therefore, you are requesting that they do not call you. Making the call together will bring some impact.
Then tell your in laws you will be following up the telephone call with a confirming letter for their files in case they need to refer to your "no contact" request at a later date.
Contact your local Police Department and find out what constitutes harassment? Include this information in your confirming letter to add weight to your request of "no contact".
Contact your local telephone carrier and ask if they have a way to block incoming calls. If so, include the information in your confirming letter that as of July 15, 2006 all calls will be blocked.
I wish you the best. I have found that by confronting my fears in difficult situations in a wise way, they melt away like paper giants.

First of all I think this is your husband's problem that he should deal with - after all they are his parents!
Second you might want to change your phone number and make it clear to the phone company that you are being harassed and you don't want the number listed.
Then you should sit down with your husband and have a serious talk about your fears, and talk about getting a certain type of restraining order against your in-laws so that they can't call you - it might also ease your mind a little bit regarding your baby. If you take your child to a daycare center or babysitter, be sure to describe these people to whoever is in charge and make sure that no matter what they say, they do not have the authority to take your child!!
Good luck, and I hope you are able to get out of this situation.

I believe that you concerns are very real. You should try changing your number and having it unlisted with the phone company. Also make it so that every time you make a call your number is blocked. Only give your number to the people that you want to have it and express to these people that they are not to give it to anyone. One way or the other you will have to verify that it is them so that you can get a restraining order against them.
By the way it is not illegal to call someone. So just answer the phone and tell them to stop.

a million. start up a record of calls/correspondence in case you've not already. 2. Write a one-pager indicating the blunders (holding a replica for your self) with a ultimate para some thing like, ... and if I proceed to get carry of oral and/or printed threats as defined herein, i'll positioned up the remember to criminal counsel and different proper authorities as required. thanks on your form and instantaneous interest to the correction of this mistake. 3. If that would not artwork, employ atty to ascertain no extra action with the help of lenders, i.e., liens, garnishment, repo, etc. the reality is this mistake should be considered useful and till you're taking perfect steps to resolve it, creditor will pursue the debt s/he believes you owe. it receives an increasing style of extreme priced to call off the canines. 4. in case you come back to a call for some reason adversarial to hiring atty to make it go away you should positioned up the correspondence to the IRS Informant Leads midsection on your jurisdiction with a short letter explaining the blunders. the real deadbeat likely owes the IRS, too, and there is no individual extra valuable than the taxman to smell out borrowers and cause them to pay. MANY fraudsters take advantage the 'incorrect id' danger to purchase time. We had numerous agencies itemizing our take care of as a company headquarters for more advantageous than 3 years after their respective tenancies terminated. Neither the phone agencies nor the banks issuing statements ought to maximum perfect their files or maybe inspect! real data! Who made it stop at lengthy very last? Informant Leads, bless their darkish little souls!

This is not a fun/easy thing to do, but document each harrassing call. Without a log of calls, police won't be able to do anything to help you. You may begin to see patterns of when they call and where they call from.
If you have proof of their scams, you could also supply that information to the police, if that's something that you and your husband can do.
I agree with the person who said that you might have to change your phone number; again, not a pleasant option, but it's what you may have to do to maintain your own peace of mind.

Do the same to them. Learn to turn it around on them. Example: they want you to invest in a company, tell them if they advance you money for a downpayment, they will get your investment by some "special deal" you are doing only make it sound like they will get even more than they asked for to peak their greed. Do that a couple of times and I bet they stop. You gotta play dumb to them to suck them in - don't let them know how smart you are!
