Thanks everyone! One more question..
Does it matter that this person isn't threatening me in anyway shape or form? They are basically telling me, giving me information about someone in my life that I am already aware of. If it is who I think it is, I think she is just trying to hurt my feelings and make me mad.

Thanks Again

Apparently this person's actions bothered you enough to post a thread here with the title, "I am being Harassed...HELP!!".

It doesn't matter if the person is sending you repeated e-mails saying "Hot dogs are great!" Harassment is harssment whether it is extremely vulgar or mildly irritating. No one has the right to subject you to unwanted and repeated communications.

Does this person's actions bother you? Do they make you feel uncomfortable or uneasy? If the answer is yes, then you have a right to proceed with an order of protection and/or police involvement.

when she emails you, reply back and say you are saving all of her messages and are filing a formal complaint. if that doesn't stop her, FILE IT.

Kelly- "HER" actions don't necessarily make me feel uncomfortable or uneasy. It is just irritating. Yes I feel I am being harrassed but my definintion of harrassment and police departments are obviously different. I say harrassed because "she " won't stop, even though I have made comments and so has my husband about calling the police and also hiring a PI to find out what is going on. I called the courts about a restraining order and since I have NO proof whom it is I can't file. It will never stand up in court. I also contacted the police again and also had my husband call and I can file a complaint in general but not against a person because I don't have proof. The phone company is helping a bit more now but since "she" hasn't called lately I have nothing for them to track.
Lately, "she" has only been text messaging my phone from ATTWS site so I don't have a number whom it is from. I called ATTWS to see if they can track anything and I am getting the run around with them also. NO WONDER, people just give up and let these things happen.

I would get a new phone # and make it unlisted. Then I would contact the email provider and tell them to disable the account that the emails are coming from and tell them why. I totally understand where you are coming from, but I understand what the police are saying also. Just try and make it so contacting you through your cell and email (maybe get yourself a new email address also) are almost impossible-- this person obviously needs help!

ETA: I know it sucks to have to make changes like that-- but you gotta do, what you gotta do to make this stop!

If you like lips and assholes

[_Q_]

If she's just irritating you, but doesn't seem to be a threat, is it possible to ignore her, or at least avoid giving her the kind of reaction she seems to be seeking? I'm guessing that the text messaging/forged email stuff isn't going to be very rewarding (since she doesn't get to experience your reaction), so she might either move on to something else or drop it. Is it legal for you to record the calls if there are any more? I believe that it varies from state to state.

For cyberstalking, there is an excellent group that can provide you with tips and advice:

www.cyberangels.com

This site has advice (it's from the UK, but still applies)

http://www.thesite.org/youthnet/jsp/...p?d=171&a=2085

Keep copies and a record (as well as a diary with dates and times) of EVERYTHING! Don't respond with fear as that's what the individual is hoping to get from you. Tell them simply to stop.

Stalking IS a crime. Insist on fiing a police report so you can start a paper trail. If the local police won't help you, go to your county sheriff or state police. You can also go to the FBI if there are threats.

You might want to consider taking a martial arts course. It's very empowering.
