Hi everyone, hope you're all well 

It's been about a week now that I've had a guy literally harassing and pestering me of texts/phone calls. I haven't even met him in person. He initially texted me to meet (pure timewaster vibe though such as "evening baby, I want to meet u so much" (you know what I mean lol), so he kept pestering me on his first number, I was ignoring him and at one point I blocked him. However, he got another number and started pestering me again, I know I shouldn't have but I was in such a bad mood I told him I don't want to meet him (I should have kept ignoring him my bad) and since then, he sends me tons of messages everyday/calls begging me to talk to him, to reply to him, that he loves me so much and this kind of BS.

I don't think I can report him to the police here because he has an American phone number. I also thought about blocking him again but I'm scared he is gonna get another number to harass me even more so I'm currently just ignoring him but it makes me anxious.

Have you ever faced this kind of situation ? What do you think I should do ?

Thanks for your help

I had a North American man pestering me for almost a year. He used a myriad of different names, numbers and email addresses to do so but his style of communication always gave him away. I have blacklisted him everywhere I could think of, including CE even though his number is not a UK one.

I used to tell him I had no availability, but still he messaged me. In the end, I just ignored his messages, and eventually he stopped. That’s all I can really suggest you do - he will get bored once he realises you’re not going to communicate with him.

(I also had a Canadian guy harass me in a similar way. However, as I had his real details - name, ID etc, I threaten reporting him to his local chamber of commerce and police for harassment. He stopped bothering me and never contacted me again. In this instance, I was lucky to a degree as I knew who he was/that he would lose his livelihood if I made a complaint against him.)

Don’t let your anxiety get the better of you. Stay strong and ignore him. He will move onto someone else (unfortunately for them).

Miffy, sorry to hear that, I truly hope this guy won't harass me for a year. I have no information about him so can't use that against him and as I said earlier, I'm not sure going to the police for a foreign phone number with no info about the person would work.

Yes, I think I'll keep ignoring him but it stresses me out to see his calls/messages coming in, it ruins my mood a bit and I'm scared he would get so obsessed that he would try to find info about me (all escort profiles+pictures and stuff) or even worse, get mad and attempt bad stuff against me (hopefully I'm a bit paranoid but who knows  )

Sorry to hear you are going through this. If he is sending by WhatsApp then you can archive his messages.  That way you are  not told when he messages and it is not on your main message screen.
If it is by text you can at least turn off notifications for him. I know it is still a pain but at least you will get less prompts telling you he has contacted you. I use both often when someone is being annoying but I don't want to block them.

Thanks everyone for your support, I'll definitely ignore him, and yes I've put his messages in archives on WhatsApp already.

I truly hope he will stop soon
