Threatening Voice Mails From an Unknown Number

So today, my boss showed me a voicemail that was left on his phone.
The voice mail said, "You better not be stalking my wife, or I'll come after you.. call me back."
Paraphrasing, but that's the gist of it.
Now, they guy sounded very serious, possibly intoxicated. My boss has no idea who it is, and is not stalking anybody, or their wife.

Does anyone know how to unmask a phone number?
I'm concerned that whoever this was intended for might be in some danger here.
Maybe even my boss is in some danger due to a twisted case of mistaken identity. If he has his number, then with a couple mouse clicks, he could find his house.
Any one here able to help?

as i said earlier :

REALITY CHECK TIME .

there is only one rational course of action :

call the police and the telecom provider

they have all the facilities and powers required to deal with such an incident

its that simple - and the fact that there is resistance to this very basic concept is absolutly astounding

lastly - if the " boss " will not contact the police - one has to wonder why ?

So you don't know how to access the number?

ok folks one simple question

given the outline of the OP

what is your advice :

A - call the police and telecom provider

B - something else

if your answer is A - what is your problem ?

if you answer B - please state EXACTLY what your plan is and why it should superceed mine ?

this should be entertaining

a reply to: o0oTOPCATo0o

yes - i do :

by calling the police and telecom provider - they have the rescources and powers to do this

as we dont know yet where the OP is based - i shall post the OFFICIAL advice from the UK REGULATORY AGENCY :

SOURCE

Malicious, abusive or threatening calls, whether from people you know or from strangers, are a criminal offence.

If you receive such a call you should immediately call your phone company and ask for their nuisance or malicious calls team.

f the caller is making direct threats to you or your family and you believe those threats to be real and immediate, you must call 999 straight away.

If you believe that the threats made are not immediate, then you should call your local police station (101 from any landline or mobile phone).

now if anyone wishes to contradict the above advice - explain why - and offer a credible and legal alternative

because this thread has one logical solution - which i has posted

the resistance to it is just incomprehensible

You Could Always Move To Another Country.... With A New Alias.

Google it. That often works. Just did for me.

Immediately call the phone company from same phone, tell them you just received threat on this line and want contact info on who called. They should be able to get it to you and refer you to their internal investigators. Every phone call is fully documented for billing purposes.

I agree with this, if this is going on it's a serious matter. There was a man, not sure if it was on the other side of the world or over here in the US but some guy mistook his identity for someone who had harmed a family member of his, and showed up at the wrong guys house, and THREW ACID IN HIS FACE, he messed that guy up GOOD for life man. Wrong freaking guy.... I couldn't imagine.

So take this guys advice.

its not me you need to convince

OP: Dude you should tell your boss to troll that guy so hard! Make that unknown caller so mad he can't think straight. I know it would be the wrong thing to do but so much fun.

You either Google stuff or come to ATS?

You chose ATS, because it is an interesting scenario.

We say, phone the police and get it reported asap.

Whatever you decide, it's up to you. Decide wisely!!
