A client of mine is getting harassed, we think by her former attorney who she’s suing for embezzlement.

Someone is posting fake resumes for her and applying for jobs and she gets daily emails and call backs. Is there anything to do short of either ignoring it or playing whack-a-mole?

She’s a very sweet old lady who is freaked out by this and doesn’t deserve it.

    Would going to the police be an option in this case? Cause this type of harassment sounds pretty toxic and illegal.

      With a police file number and her address and possibly name being used, she might be able to get the company to give her the ip address. Its not a privacy breach of she’s the customer.

      Then that ip address can be matched to an isp to find the user, police would need to do that. Talking to her current lawyer would help.

      Edit: :up to ip

        Yup. Police will probably do nothing, but having that number on file gives requests more weight because refusing to comply could get the police involved.
