How to Deal with Annoyance Telephone Calls

Threatening Calls
Anyone threatening to cause injury or death to a person or damage to their property is committing the most serious offense of this nature. These types of calls should always be reported immediately to Campus Safety.

Obscene Calls
The victim of this crime is usually a female and is selected randomly until the culprit receives the reaction that he has been looking for. The culprit uses his unknown identity to fantasize about his desires. These calls should also be reported immediately to Campus Safety.

Harassing or Annoying Calls
There is no need to be victimized by these kinds of calls. Report them to Campus Safety.
What to do when a call is received:

• Most often the caller is looking for a reaction to the call. Do not react to it.
• Ask who is calling and the number the person is trying to reach. Do not give out your number or name or any personal information to the caller.
• Hang up the receiver promptly and gently if the caller does not respond properly to your question. Contact Campus Safety.
• Don't try to be a counselor. The annoyance or obscene caller certainly needs professional help, but he/she will only be encouraged by your concern and will continue the late night calls.
• If you blow a whistle or yell into the phone, the caller will know that you are angry and will likely be encouraged to call back.
