   Dial *67 .  Or at least, the law says so in Maryland, I don't know
   if it's universal.

   No matter what is showing for caller ID, the phone company has the
   real calling number (in a different data field).  *67 after hanging
   up makes the phone system save the real calling number for a minimum
   of 24 hours, during which it can be fetched by the authorities.

   So then call the authorities.  Depending on which law was violated
   you may have to file the lawsuit against the caller.
