    Hi, Just about 45 minutes ago, my dad started getting calls where the caller would hang up when he answers.

    Then I answered when it rang again and was given all sorts of abuse and threatened to be killed. Im just really on edge about this. Im 17 and generally a nervous guy.

    What can I do to stop this shit happening? Ive turned the phone off now so they cant call again tonight. My dad isnt very good with technology so Ill have to sort it for him.

    Report the phone calls to your service provider.

    The call logs will be quite traceable to the phone companies involved and the police.

    Your phone provider might suggest going to the police, who might not do much but keep a log of these calls and keep at your provider to do something.

    get a duck caller in a tackle shop and blow really hard into it while holding phone speaker against it. this worked for me previously. the person on the other ends head will be wrecked after a while and they will give up calling
