Looking for some advice here (and before people say, no its not someone bashing her)
My wife has had a few texts from a number. First one was "have left a package with the gardener" but then she started getting ones like "are we still on for tonight" etc which she just ignored. Yesterday she made in my opinion a mistake of replying and saying they must have the wrong number, but he then replied with her name saying if its her, then its not a wrong number (spelt her name slightly wrong but only by one letter) and its not a common name. Then sent a text asking along the lines of "how old r u".
Some other texts imply he has been to our house and tracking back the date of the first text indicates he works for a courier company that delivered something to our house.
Obviously we have the number. I phoned to check and a guy answered. The question is what to do now. I can clearly tell him to f
k off and stop doing it, but I am away quite a lot, he knows were we live and I don't want to antagonise him any more and I am sure Yod*l don't exactly have a strict entry policy on their staff.
We have put a block on his number on her phone so at least she won't get any more texts.
What would people do? I thought about calling Yod*l, but again it's not knowing if he is a nutter, but I guess at least we can get a name then..
Open to PH.

Yeah we have blocked the number. I think will phone the 101 number tomorrow. I want a way to find out his name. I thought about saying I had a missed call and is this the delivery company etc. But I become unstuck on how I get his name out of him.
I a pretty confindent this is not a case of mistake by a close name match. These have been over the course of 1 month, and if you text someone asking if you are on for tonight and got no response, you would generally phone the person.

Hi all, no we haven't told him to stop it as I am concerned we give any further time to this idiot he might keep on going. The number is blocked now so I think my wife is not a jittery.
I personally just want to give him a taste of his own medicine but ensure nothing comes back to my wife. I am tempted to do it the other way and just keep ringing from a withheld number at silly times of the day. I get up at 5am, I doubt he wants a random call one day a week at that time.
