Telephone harassment is an invasion of privacy that can be intimidating, frightening, irritating, and stressful. Telephone harassment includes making threatening phone calls, the use of abusive or obscene language, heavy breathing, and silence. While most often associated with prank calls, stalking, or a relationship gone bad, telephone harassment may also be part of illegal debt collection tactics.
