so does it mean that people can do that as long as they have a phone book?
It did. Maybe still does. I tried to get more details from the phone co and the cops but it was a waste of time. I told the phone company not to allow any other phone numbers under my name/address/etc unless there was a much better screening process and they said ok but it may well have just been lip service. Having said that no one else has done that since not that the odds would say some random jerk would do it to me twice.
