FOR YOUR PROTECTION

Suggestions on How to Handle Obscene or Harassing Calls If you receive obscene, harassing, or threatening calls, follow these suggestions. 1. Hang up at the first obscene word or if the caller doesn’t say anything the second time you say “Hello.” 2. Give no information such as your name and address until the caller has been identified. 3. Advise your children to give no information to strangers. If you’re not home, they should say, “Mother/Father can’t come to the phone right now.” 4. Call the Sheriff’s Department if these annoy ing calls persist. Or, if you receive calls threatening injury to a person or damage to property, call the Sheriff’s Department imme diately. It is a crime under both Utah and federal law for anyone to make obscene or harassing telephone calls.
