You are giving false information. In the states...it varies from state to state as to who can record a conversation over the telephone. Some states require both parties to know in advance of a recording can be made, some states require only one party to know and some do not allow it at all without a court order. If you live in a state where it is illegal to make, even if threats are being communicated, it can not be used by any law enforcement agency to file charges. Truthfully, a person making the recordings very well could end up being the one in court with charges for making the recordings.

Nope, you don't find a new hobby, you get a recorder to tape the phone calls (yes, it's legal and no you don't have to tell the other party they are being recorded) and you call a lawyer. The individual and the company they Rep for will get their weenies slapped. Threats are serious business. It doesn't really surprise me to hear that it's a BVM rep, I've had less than stellar dealings with a few of them, but it's sad to hear a JR rep.... I'd be contacting Horizon about that, my guess is that JR wouldn't treat it as lightly as BVM does.
Having said that, there are a few BVM reps who have been helpful and didn't seem to aquire the arrogance that the purple cool aid seems to inflict on many of them....
Ok, my bad, it was my understanding that the only time it's illegal is if it is a 3rd party recording the conversation without at least one of the individuals in the conversation knowing. So, let the person making the threats call your answering machine and leave the threat on voice mail
