Serious Question. I am being stalked by another woman in my work. What should I do?.....?
I work on a psychic line for a living. Everything is kept confidential for both operator and caller. I started getting calls from a woman seemingly ok at first. We got on well, and I liked her.She was telling me of her loved one overseas and wanted to see him. Some weeks later, her whole story changed. She had a boyfriend in hr own town. Totally didnt want to talk about the other BF. Her story was all over the place. I told her so but persisted with her. She was ringing very early every morning. Then she discovered I was part of a management team, and could call me direct on the work phone without paying for the call. she kept doing this over a week. I put her off after the first time but she persisted.When she knew I wouldnt chat for free, she would put calls on her CC. She was pumping ME full of personal information. Now shes paying to get it. Work banned her, and told me to ignore her. She still rings me constantly, knowing she cant. Im FREAKED out here. Can anyone help? I forgot to mention, she is unemployed and tells me she has been on a mental disability pension for years. Thanks for all the answers so far. Unfortunately, we can not change the phone number or switch offices. I work from home, and retreive these numbers to go to my home line each night. She can NOT get my Private home number as it is silent. Also, I refuse to give in to her, or ask to be taken off shift, and loose wages over her. The boss is informed of EVERYTHING she does. She actually rang me AGAIN just a while ago for the 2nd time.First time a hang up. The next call, she offered information for me to ring a number, to change employment.She wants me to leave my job and work somewhere else. 2nd time she has done that now too. Ive reported it to the boss and will ask the police what I can do in this cercumstance.Will get a call from my boss later today with more instructions!

- report it to the police, they might be able to get her the help she needs.
- Wow, that is one seriously unbalanced person. I think that all you can do is ignore and hope that she develops an obsession other than with you. I would just stay very persistant with your avoidance because every time that she gets to have any contact with you it only feeds her obsession more. Think invisible...but keep your eye on how many times she tries to contact you so that you know if it is building up or dying down. I hate to say it...but I would expect that in your line of work I would have to expect that this won't be the last person you will ever have a problem with...I would seriously be considering a career change. I used to work in bars and alcohol and naked women don't usually bring about the best behavior in men...so eventually I had to make that change as well.
- report it to ur boss duh.
- Scare her. Tell her if she persists that One of your psychics will put a root on her (not really, but just a scare). If she believes in getting results and accurate info from psychic hotlines...she might believe ya'll have the power to "poof!" Heehee. Just a thought.
- wow is she a lesbian!!!
- tell her these exact words, "bug off retard." but i know that sounds mean. why dont u just listen to her for a little bit longer, and if things really get off hand, call the cops.
- Is there any why your # can be changed or mabey you and another person at your work could switch offices for a while. just some ideas to think about.
- definately inform the cops and/or tell your boss immediately! this woman sounds a bit strange and odd even if she has a disability. besides if you tell someone they might find her and get her the help she needs. hope i helped! :)
- WoW! thats creepy! can you have the phone company block the number?
- Tell your boss, you don't have to be harassed in your place of employment. If you wind up talking to her again,( which seriously cant you just hang the damn phone up? )do not give her any personal info what so ever. Hopefully she lives in another part of the country, if not and this persists get a restraining order if possible.
- why dont u ask someone else to listen to u r phone a week or so maybe shell stop calling make sure u ask a man to help u . I was stalked once it was scarey.
- Well It seems you have tried most of the usual stuff to get rid of her. She is obviously quite disturbed, when she contacts you next, just be nice to her and gently explain to her that you understand the turmoil that she in in and tell her that although you sympathise with her, you don't feel that you are able to help her at this time.......suggest that because you care so much that you would like it if she spoke to someone else.then pass her on to another and hang up. But be persistent and do this every time. She will eventually move on and not blame you for rejecting her. Remember to always be kind.
