If you receive an annoying, harassing or obscene call, please follow these tips:

• Do not react to it; reacting may encourage the caller.
• Hang up at the first obscene word.
• Upon realizing it is a malicious call, casually say "Security, start the trace now" and press your * key once. The caller will think you are tracing the call and will probably hang up and stop harassing you.
• If you receive more than one malicious call within a short period, don't answer your phone for 24-48 hours. Let your calls go to voice mail. The caller will probably give up.
• If a malicious call is left in your voice mail, save it by pressing 9 at the end of it. Forward, press 6, this call to the Director of Safety and Security at 651-696-6218; include your name, phone number, date & time the call was left when leaving your message for Safety and Security.
• If more than one malicious call is left in your voice mail within a short period, have someone else record your voice mail greeting - do not include your name or phone number in the greeting; they may think you changed your number.
• If the above tips have not stopped the calls, call Telecommunications at 651-696-6566 to discuss other options.

Remember that you control your telephone!
