Nuisance calls from his ex

LegacyUser

Hi all,
Basically I've been getting hang-ups from BF's exGF. Started out as texts to my mobile,which showed her mobile number plus lots of hang-ups with the number withheld. Now I have been friends with BF for many years (old flame) and turns out that he gave her all the numbers in his mobile when they were together as she liked to have them. Now I realise the withheld number is probably her mobile with ID blocked. What is worrying is that I am now getting hang-ups to my exDir landline. BF thinks ex is doing this drunk, but it's now in daytime as well. He has asked me to forward the txts to his mobile, and it is very awkward as they work together. He has found out she has rang round all his female friends to find out where he is late at night.I live a distance away so she hasn't turned up here...yet! They split months ago because of her drinking and abuse not because of me BTW.
Really don't want to blow this out of proportion,but she seems nuts...has even txted me to say she's "with him ..where r u?" when he was right in front of me!
Any suggestions?
Also think I read here about a duck whistle to get rid of crank callers...any help appreciated!

harrassment is an offence under section 10 of the non-fatal offences against the person act.

get the gardai involved, they will caution her.

needless to say, keep all texts and keep a log of the calls

What is he doing about it? Has he spoken to her?

Thanks, yes he has spoken to her about it. She just blames the drink and tells him she's devastated, which in turn is making him feel really bad. He feels he's made her drinking worse. I was married to an alcoholic for years,and I keep trying to explain to him that the very worst thing about alcoholism is it makes others feel they are to blame..it took me years to figure it out and he has no clue.
She knows he is seeing me but I live quite a distance away. I would prefer not to involve the gardai as she works with him and he is new to the job whereas she has worked there for years..and now there are cutbacks.
She sent so many texts saying she was with him that I actually broke up with him! He finally convinced me of what she was doing by going on webcam whenever she says that...it is just bizarre! She txts me and there he is in his own kitchen just him on his jack jones!! I have told him to sort it out and the txts stopped but now the calls are to the landline and the ID says either"private"(nightime)or " out of area"(daytime).
I have used a hands free extension phone at work and whenever I phoned my home landline it showed up as "out of area"...so possibly she is doing that at work?
He thinks it's just the drink but I'm having my doubts...I have seen some things with a drunk but not this. I am actually afraid to run into this woman who is only 5foot tall (I'm 5'5). We never go into the pubs in his town as we know there will be a scene.
My landline is with BT so not sure if calls can be traced? Thanks again for help

Well you won't know unless you ask.
Ring them and find out what can be done.
