Can this constitute as harassment?

OK, so for like the past year i've gotten a few calls where as soon as I pick up, the caller hangs up. However, it usually happens 2-3 times a day (annoying, now i've got to check the caller-id before I pick the phone up). Over the last few days, it's been getting worse...and now, the calls come every 2mins (and i'm studying for a midterm too :|).

Unfortunately, it shows up as "unavailable" on my caller-id; odd thing is, the very second I pick my phone up, the caller hangs up, so it seems automated..anyone know what I could do about this situation? I'm not sure if I can just call up verizon and they'll just block all incoming "unavailable" calls, or if I should actually report this to the police(?)...

...I just want this damn crap to stop :|

Of course this constitutes as a harassment.

Call the phone company first. The more you can make them understand that this is not an isolated occurance, the better.

yeah, that's probably my best bet...for now I just left the phone off the hook, i'm not sure how long it'll take with verizon and I just have way too much crap to study, so i'll call on friday at latest..
