You mean Stalker? Take note of the times that he calls and then contact the phone company to let them know and they may be able to give you a number. Otherwise, if it is serious, refer the matter to the police and provide them with the same information of the times of the calls. They can investigate it from there if you are truly in danger.

First a stock-er is someone who stocks shelves.
I am assuming that you mean that you have a Stalker.
Area code 800 is the area code. Anyone can have an 800 number. It just means that if someone calls back it isn't long distance. The one receiving the calls pays the bill. Why haven't you returned the call to check out what sort of company or person is calling you. The best way to stop this person is to stop answering the phone. Once you appear to not be agitated anymore the person will chose someone else to call.
Or you can get ahold of the FCC Federal Comission of Communications. Although that hardly seems necessary.
Screen your calls or if it is annoying enough change your phone number. It sounds like someone is having a laugh at your expense.

Well, you need to get the times each time he calls, dates, and if it's legal in your state, record the conversation. If it's an 800 number, most likely he's calling from a pay phone and using a calling card. Get in contact with the police as soon as possible.

You should be able to hit *69 right after he calls you, and it will give you the number that just was called. Then you can go on line and do a reverse search for his number. If it is he place of work you will be able to locate who it is by their phone system set up within the company.
Good Luck and honey please be careful. I had on for 3 years, he would break into my house and put pictures of my face on a picture he cut out of a magazine and place it in a frame and lay it on my bed. It was really creepy. I finally got him arrested after 3 years of these crap.
God Bless

800 is a toll free number, not an area code.
Idea......next time he calls, tell him to hold for a sec while you turn the tape recorder on. (would be even better if you actually had one)
If that doesn't work......go to the police...they can have your telephone company put a trace on your phone and catch the SOB.

Phone harassment of this nature is a crime. You should report it to your local law enforcement. They have the resources to find this perverted STALKER a lot faster than you do.
Try changing your number AFTER you consult the police.

First place I would tell the authorities, and then contact the phone company. And they can tell you where the call is coming from! Do you have call blocking ? you my want to consider that! You could also change you're phone #

if you keep a record of the time and date of the call you can then take that info to the police....they take those details to the telecommunications company and they can find out where the calls are made from....they then go to the person making the calls and issue them with a warning or like a restraining order of contact if it persists they can press charges of harrasment.....you generally will not be advised as to who the sicko is.........good luck

800 is a continental toll number you can be anywhere with an 800 number the prefix should be the next three digits that would tell where he is.
