You can try filing complaints with the FBI and the police. You don't indicate how they are harassing you...is it via IM's, e-mails or web posting? If it is via IM's and e-mails, you can set you account to block certain e-mail addresses and also file a complaint against the user for a Terms of Service Violation with their internet provider if known.
If it is via a webposting, contact the webmaster for the site and advise them of what is going on and they may delete the content and/or warn or block the user from their domain.

I would go to either the FBI or your local police. They can trace the IP address of the computer that the threats are coming from. I wouldn't let it go as others recommend. I think it should be taken seriously and things should be done to stop it. Be persistent. If you have to call the police ten times a day, do it. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

you almost cant unless its coming from someone you personally know and its happening a lot..if you know the person you can report it to your local police department..
you can also try to contact your isp and see if they will do nething..

You can go to the FBI website. I did. They do nothing. Best advice: Turn OFF your computer!
