ONE phone call in which all the words were 'neutral' (non-vulgar, non-threatening, etc) is not harassment. If it were, then I could claim that everyone who called me was harassing me.
Did you tell this person not to call you again?
PA Statute 5504. Harassment and stalking by communication or address.(a) Harassment by communication or address.--A person commits the crime of harassment by communication or address when, with intent to harass, annoy or alarm another, the person: 1. communicates to or about such other person any lewd, lascivious, threatening or abscene words, language, drawings or caricatures; or 2. communicates repeatedly in an anonymous manner; 3. communicates repeatedly at extremely inconvenient hours; or 4. communicates repeatedly in a manner not covered by paragraph (2) or (3).(a.1) Stalking by communication or address.--A person commits the crime of stalking by communication or address when the person engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly communicates to another under circumstances which demonstrate or communicate either of the following: 1.
