Glen Burnie, MD asked in Criminal Law for Maryland

Q: What can I do to find out who my harrasser is? And put a stop to it.

Over the past 4 years now, someone has placed orders in my name for magazine subscriptions; A real estate agent called my landline saying he received a message through Facebook (he would not give details about who or where) that my husband and I are divorcing and that my husband wants to sell our house. Another real estate agent called and claimed I messaged him through Realtor.com inquiring about a house that is for sale. Recently, the police surrounded my house, knocked on the door, said they received an anonymous call that someone was shooting a gun in my backyard. I am estranged from my brother and his wife. Neither me or my husband know of anyone else who might be doing this. How can I find out who the harrasser is and what can I do to stop them?

Thanks

A: Only the police will have the investigative and legal resources necessary to obtain and trace back online postings, magazine orders, email correspondence, etc., from various company websites and internet providers, and connect them to the person responsible. That’s your starting point.
