 ;D

I take it that this is a threat, probably delivered over the telephone?

I think it would be time to phone the police if you've not already done so.

Threats to kill is a criminal offense, they will contact the phone company and get the details of the caller.  Maybe even a recording of the phone call.  Then they'll prosecute him/her.

BT can trace withheld numbers that are being called from this country, they cant trace calls coming from overseas. right down the area that you dropped leaflets off and that will be a start for the police. also if they used a mobile phone the network operator can find out which mast it was coming from at that time. its called "pinging"
I would certainly report the offence to the police though, as if anything happens the police have the initial report to strengthen any case.

drwindows they cant get a recording of the call!
becuase to have a recording of a phone call without the consent of either party, they would need a court order to "tap" the phone. this has only been used in a few cases.

I had this before and the police did bot bugger all. The didn't even log it as a crime.

I spoke to the guy last night at 10pm. At 11.30 he rang again but I missed the call. I rang it back this morning and spoke to a different guy who said he had lent the phone to his mate in the pub last night.

I have the number, they didn't even bother to hide it.

the police will have a way of getting the number. BT will have a log system even tho it comes up at your end of the phone as no number. My daughter had a few prank calls and we had it reported and checked, police found out who it was in a matter of a day.

the threats you are getting sould not be going on, you have a right to earn money without threats
