If this person is harassing you over the telephone,
then call the phone company, explain the situation
(no details - just that you are receiving repeated
unwanted calls), and see if they will waive the
fee for changing your number.

Even if they charge you, get the number changed
anyway, and specify that the new one should be
unlisted.

If there have been any actual threats of violence,
etc, then mention that to the phone company, and
report it to the police. They probably won't take
it very seriously, but it may be a good idea to
file a police report to help back up any future
action that you may take. If there have been any
theats by snail-mail, then report it to the postal
service.

If there are any indications, attempts, etc, regarding
this person possibly coming over in person and
harassing you at your home or workplace, then you
may wish to consider filing for a restraining order,
which is basically a court order telling them to
stay away from you. Be prepared to explain and
show evidence for why this is justified.

"Confronting" this person is probably NOT the
solution. Confrontation is the problem here.
