Yup I’m from Canada, I did file a report with the hate crime unit, so we’ll see where that goes. The messages have been unhinged, but stopping short of being direct threats so far. If the cops really did want to find this guy they’d have to contact Iristel, the company that provides the sms service, and they could get the identity of whoever sent the message to my number that way. It wouldn’t be that hard to do. They did say they’ll get back to me, so I’ll post an update on how this develops.
Yeah that’s what I figure. A friend of mine said something similar happened with him, and what he ended up doing was to get a lawyer to open a civil case which leads to discovery where they figure out who the other party is. It cost him around 3k to do it, but if this keeps going might be worth it.

It’s in the books now that’s the important bit.
