In this case harassment is involved and staff should take the lead to protect all of us. I have tried to get the name of a caller and discovered it would cost about$15 to $25 to get the name. Staff can purchase a group account to search numbers for not much more.

It would be a bad idea for the board to take such an illegal action in an official capacity.
The board doesn't usually get directly involved in activities that don't take place on the board via PM, posts, etc. It would put the board at risk in several ways. However, individuals here may help you. You can also discuss your problems, post alerts, and get advice on the board.
This is yet another case where you need to realize that you should never believe someone is "Joe from eccie" unless you contact them through eccie.
And for the record, I'm not part of the staff of this board.
